7th Gurkhas
Another recent acquisition and another one that I'd never seen before. It's not illustrated in the Gurkha Museums book on the insignia of the 7th - but I think it dates to the 1920's because of the elongated blades of the kukris. It's silver and measures some 35mm x 25mm with a stout pin fastening. I think it was worn by British officers on the Wolseley helmet.
