    I’ve got a similar one... rather more rusty, that my Grandad used to cut cabbages on the farm!

    Nice find!

    Thanks Bob. As I said, I gave it a clean as it was quite rusty but looks pretty good now....and I oiled it as well to keep it good. I see no problem with using such as this for its intended purpose, it it was a minter perhaps not, but a used rusty example, why not.

    A correct original Pattern 44 M.E.Co. made sheath dated 1945 can be found at 'Soldier of Fortune',

    Thanks, I had already seen this and it is tempting, though the last digit of the date looks odd.....but maybe I will get it even though it is more than the machete cost.

    does anyone know if the 58 pattern scabbard would fit?

    I managed to find out the 58 are much shorter than the 44, so no good.
