US WWII 1943 S.W.I. Machete New Mfg, Original 1944 OD Canvas Sheath,
This item is listed for historical interest only. It was listed on our site previously but has been sold and is no longer available for purchase.
Sold for: $50.00

Original era manufacture. Parkerized finish to the 18 inch blade, maker marked and dated on the reverse ricasso, S.W.I. 1943. Dark plastic grips secured with four steel rivets. These machetes were manufactured in the 1980's and are of a very high quality, sadly they have fooled many who thought they were original WWII (me too!). Still a good quality tool in usable condition. The dark OD canvas scabbard is of WWII production which is dated 1944 and maker marked, minor fraying to the fabric.
