Philippine Cutlass with "Maker's Mark," or "vise grip scratches?"

Hard to say for sure. Not a single piece in my collection has any discernible makers mark, I have yet to see any of the old pieces with one either.

It is the same with me; however, there is always that first one. The other side is not marred, so maybe that excludes a vise?

I'm inclined toward the "fool with a tool" possibility.

That would seem to be the "odds on favorite."
