ww2 western machette question

Featured Replies

#1

hello am wondering if anyone has a picture of or has in his collection a western ww2 machette as seen in cole book #3 page 165. the ad stated is is for killing japs as one of its many uses so ww2 it must be. however cole didnt list it nor has anyone i am familiar with. the real odd thing is, the machette in the ad has a hilt. i have never seen one of these has anyone else.

Looks to be and artists rendition of the Western Bushmaster No. Bx54. Shown in same book page 56. Same length and blade width stated in the ads.

thank you,what you state makes sense. this has puzzled me for years and led to much reseach. since the artist image didnt resemble the BX54 i never caught the connection.
