Machete.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but Mexican stuff seems t go under an ethnographic heading, and the US is not Europe.... so I am posting here.

One big Machete, 31 inches or 79 cm overall,made in the US, and probably mid 19th century from what I have seen here, in a locally made scabbard, which looks like Alligator skin leather. It is definitely leather, but the pattern could be stamped on. The grip scales are horn.
