Kukri inscription translation

[Jeremy Kotkin]

Hello all,

I'd like someone to be able to doublecheck my translation of a Kukri I just purchased. I believe it's a Classic Gurkha Army Kukri ("long leaf") and I think the inscription reads: "śrī rām 1/16 śrī 3 candra" which translates to Shri Ram battalion, Unit 1, weapon 16.

Is this correct? Is there any way to find info about that battalion? Thanks in advance!
