I have a ceremonial sword that was used by my Great great grandfather when he was the Mayor of Bristol in the 1920s. I recently had that one mounted.

I have three items that I received from my Great Aunt's friend. The first is a British officer's sword dating approximately from the reign of George V (1911-1936), second is a <a href="http://www.army.mod.uk/brigade_of_gurkhas/history/Kukri_History.htm">Gurkha kukri</a> and the third is a <a href="http://www.armynavyshop.com/prods/rc3412.html">British commando knife</a>. The three items belonged to the man's uncle, a fellow by the name of Leonard Morris. If I am ever able to find out the details of his service record I may be able to have a better idea of exactly when and how he got the kukri.
