For sale is a 1945 Legitimus Collins & Co. US-marked 18" machete (23.5" OAL) with a rare USMC-marked 1945 "Bakelite" plastic scabbard. These "BM Co. Vp" scabbards were manufactured in 1945 but not issued until after the war. BM Co. Vp: Beckwith Manufacturing Company (Dover. New Hampshire) - Victory Plastics division (Hudson. Massachusetts)
Blade and handle are in excellent condition and the scabbard is excellent as well. It's rare to find these USMC-marked scabbards at all, much less in excellent shape with an as-issued machete.
This one came to me from a Marine who had it in Vietnam.
Asking $275 shipped ConUS. Payment by Venmo, Zelle or PayPal (F&F only - no fees to me). Or cash FtF in Huntington Beach, CA.
PM me with any questions or to arrange purchase.
Thanks!
