British WWII Machete & Molded Scabbard, 1945, Martindale Mfg.

Original era manufacture.The blade measures 12.75 inches with aparkerized finish, which is maker marked, Martindale 1945. Dark brown composition grips which are secured with five copper rivets.Molded leather scabbard body with arawhide reinforced throat with copper rivet reinforcement. Brown leather belt loop with pommel straps, the straps are pliable but feel a bit dryOverall, I would say that this set has never seen a lot of service use, although the bottom of the scabbard has a crack in its surface, but no real wear.
