Back from Sunday's Arms and Militaria Fair in Birmingham (UK) with a small haul of collectables, and here is one of them. A Machete, sold to me as Victorian Military issue, but having seen another here very like it, I doubt that. Now for the photo's.

David,
This one looks like yours. Says it's A 19th Century British `Steamer' Machete, “Steamer” was a trademark of Robert Mole & Sons. The site. https://www.tumblr.com/victorianswor...chete-the-55cm Best, Ed |

David, you might check with an online search to see if Robert Mole and Sons had a South American franchise that made these under license from Mole. I had reason to look into Robert Mole and Sons many years ago, and I seem to recall a history of the company that may prove helpful. I no longer have a copy of that document, unfortunately.
