Hello everyone, I collect antique WW2 era militaria and currently based in Europe. I am interested in buying an antique WW2 era khukuri used by British Gurkha Regiment. Can I somehow take it to India in checkin baggage? Its blade length is around 13 inches. Please provide info on legal issues. Thanks!

Checked in baggage should not be a problem. Keep any documentation associated with the Kukhri with you for your reference if questioned.

Yes properly packed in checked in luggage with documents will pass through
