Original Rare British WWI Machete Dated 1917 with Original 1918 Dated Scabbard Category_Martini-Henry Parts At the onset of WWIOriginal Items: Only One Available. A fine example of a WWI British Issue Machete with Matching scabbard! An incredibly rare find! These are generally found with WWII Era dates. This, without a doubt, is the very first example we have encountered with a WWI date. The machete is in very good condition, especially considering its age. The blade has the original blackened finish in places, with an edge that appears to have much post factory sharpening.
