WWII-Era Collins & Co. Legitimus No. 13 Machete w/ Leather Scabbard
This vintage Collins & Co. Legitimus No. 13 machete is a testament to mid-20th-century American craftsmanship. Featuring a 24-inch carbon steel blade and a sturdy three-rivet black handle, it comes with its original leather scabbard, both marked with the iconic "Collins & Co," "Legitimus," and "13" stamps. The Legitimus crown-and-arm logo, introduced in 1876, signifies authenticity and quality . Likely produced during World War II, this machete reflects the robust design favored by military and agricultural users of the era. Measuring 29 inches overall, and 29.5 inches with the scabbard, it remains a functional tool and a collectible piece of history. A must-have for collectors of vintage militaria and edged tools.
Condition:
In good vintage condition, exhibiting heavy, honest wear consistent with age and use. The blade shows a rich patina, and the handle remains securely attached. The leather scabbard is aged, with some areas of the markings indiscernible, yet it retains structural integrity and functionality.
