Flashlarue Posted March 11, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2021 Yep, Henry Disston and Sons the worlds largest handsaw manufacturer at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted March 11, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2021 It’s an original WWII machete - in the more desirable green handle (IMHO). Just curious, why would you consider this specifically a USMC example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squale69 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted March 11, 2021 Hello and Thanks for the feedbacks ! Actually I don’t know about USMC or US Army... it is just specified as a USMC machete by the guy who is selling it 😉 What would be the correct price for this kind of item ?

SKIPH Posted March 11, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2021 Machetes were issued to all branches, all theaters, the only way you might pinpoint USMC used, is if it is stamped on the scabbard, or maybe the blade, USN had a lot that were blade stamped early on, But not sure about the M1942 Disstons. Price range usually around $75-$100. Most of the ones I've picked up over the years were less. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
