I would just add to Spiral's comment that these "modified" machetes were indeed common in the West Indies, and I have several with Island names stamped into the leather sheaths (Trinidad, Tobago, Jamaica, etc.). The tassels and other decorations on the sheath of this one remind me of the West Indies examples I have seen.
