...in a YouTube video I heard mention of old Mandau's made with Dutch wagon springs, anyways.. , while meditating about the Marking on the blade I had a thought... did I stumble into a V.O.C. ???

your Mandau appears to be old, whether that may also lead to the conclusion that it is an antique I don't know.

The VOC was disbanded in 1798. I think it is extremely unlikely that this Punched C belongs to a VOC designations, which are , to my knowledge, incisions made with a chisel.
