This Found Me Today. I paid about a quarter of what it is worth. 22 inch Collins Legitimus Machete. It is marked USN. More than likely Pacific Theater. There is that same primitive feeling that goes along with holding this, about the same as goes with the axes . I bought it not to keep, but to clean up and sell. Thought you guys might like to see it.    |

On the way back from the Roanoke Veterans Parade, stopped by a yard sale of a Korean War Era Vet and picked up a tool roll and 1944 dated mess tin. I had actually passed it by but the setup caught my eye and I turned around and went back. The two items were more than what I had cash and after listening to his stories and telling him mine he donated the difference to my cause as part of what I talked about to him was that I represent. He thanked me for that. There is still very much good in this world. The media just doesn't talk about it too much to it goes far to much unnoticed. Most of the wrenches from what I have checked are WWII Billings and two are Barcalo Buffalo. Three are modern. Quite a lucky find.   |
