This one is a keeper! It is a unissued Collins & Co / CRUVER M.F.G. CO. "PARATROOP MACHETE" from WW II period. The total length is 20 ¾ inches long and the blade alone is 14 ¾ inches long. The blade is in excellent condition and still wrapped in the original shipping paper. The handle is made of black plastic and is in excellent shape. It comes with its original leather sheath that has a wonderful look. According to the book "Collins Machetes and Bowies 1845- 1965" , Collis & Co assigned model # 1253 and the name "PARATROOP MACHETE" to these knifes during world war two but the blades were unmarked. For years these knives were attributed to the O.S.S. but further research revealed that they were developed at the request of the U.S. Air Force for paratrooper use in the Pacific. This one is in fantastic unissued condition.
