What are you calling "real?" Want one actually issued to/ised by an actual Ghurka unit? Nelalese, British or Indian army? For British, look for the "broad arrow" mark.
I can ask some contacts here and there.

I'll check with some folks who might come through--if they have or can, I'll let you know the price or trade range. As a Brit issue item, lots are out there.

Google? GOOGLE? Fucking GOOGLE? Why go to google when I can come right here and ask ArmyRanger.com? Are you telling me that a bunch of limp wristed communist fuckheads who are run by George Soros backed Trilateralists and personally wipe the pee off the president's vagina would know more about where to get a weapon of war than a RANGER SITE!

Fuck google.













Actually, I did try google but there were too many bullshit versions of the knife.

Found this today and remembered this thread. This is supposedly from the contractor since 1943.
