    Description

    I will combine shipping on multiple wins. Please allow me time after an auction ends to figure the total amount, or you may contact me to request a total once you are all done.
    Please note that eBay now adds sales tax to auctions and that USPS rates went up recently. I do my best to keep costs down, but I have no control over other entities. Thanks.
    Old Martindale machete, Panga design. The company has been around since 1869, registered in 1874, still in business today. Machetes like this were used in World War II, though I can't see if there are any military markings so I will assume this is a civilian model unless someone with more knowledge can tell me otherwise. Has a carbon steel blade with grooves on both sides, two solid wood handles attached to full tang with steel rivets. It has been used and sharpened, is sharp enough to use now. Has seen rust and pitting, nothing deep or affecting usefulness, but has made it hard to see markings. Pictures show condition better than I can describe it. Stamped "MARTINDALE / BIRMINGHAM/ MADE IN / ENGLAND" then an image of the company's trademark crocodile (not an alligator, as most describe it) with "REGISTERED" below that, and after that at a right angle, "No. 1820." Measures 29" overall, 14" from tip to handles.
    Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for looking, and good luck!
    Note: Payment required within 3 days of auction ends or eBay will begin an Unpaid Item case.
    Note to bidders outside of U.S. - I generally ship using eBay's Global Shipping Program after having problems with every other method. It is a dependable service, with all Customs fees paid up front.
    Once I put this into the mail, I cannot provide any information beyond U.S. tracking. I will not offer a refund for non-delivery. Please keep this in mind when you bid.
    Thank you very much.
