I have what I believe to be a WW2 US machette. I traded an Alice pack for it while stationed in Hawaii. As I recall it was some Royal Aussie Regiment "Blah blah blah" guy, been too many years now to remember, they were on TDY and staying on our HHC barracks at Ft Shafter. Wood handle, rivetted, stamped "US 1943". I used it while boar hunting on Oahu. It was in it's original oiled scabbard w/ a brass snap over a pocket with a sharpening stone. It has been with me 23 years. under the seat of every truck I have owned along with my Grandad's Norwegian axe. I dunno how o post pics here but suppose should try. Never seen anothe machette like it, kinda standard shape but man does it hold and edge.
