Is everything OK with this machete? I am far from being expert on British ewuipment. I have already seen only examples with date on blade or without date. Colour of the grip plates is also strange. I bought it in this configuration. Do You think it is possible to be matching pair with scabbard? Scabbard is 1943 dated.

Nothing wrong with it, these were still being issued through the 1960s & 1970s as part of the equipment for some AFVs.

Nice example, fresh looking with no damage, clean blade, clean handle and what appears to be a supple leather scabbard and good retaining loop, oh and nice clear markings. These turn up every day but its the condition which sets them apart

Thank You dragnet! Leather scabbard is supple indeed and not so much darkened. I have had in my hands a couple of machete sets but scabbards were usually stiff and dark.Originally posted by dragnet View PostNice example, fresh looking with no damage, clean blade, clean handle and what appears to be a supple leather scabbard and good retaining loop, oh and nice clear markings.
