Chindit machete (?)

[spiral]

Possibly hundreds of thousands made, but more likely 10s of thousands given the wide aray of different machete & kukri carried & issued in Burma.

So much of the jungle issue stuff got destroyed or severly damaged by humidity as well{not to mention war.}

I wonder how many are left in existance today? 500? 1000? more? less?

Guess thats why they have a value, plus the important part they played in history.

There were hundreds of thousands of japanese swords made in ww2, many still exist as trophys get kept, {jungle choppers dont}, but the katana still raise a few pennys!

Guess its like all commerce. Supply & demand.
