As far as I can determine, this is the sole decent original example of this weapon, currently available for purchase on the internet. Vintage British Machette , J Kitchin Ltd, Sheffield, Commando Issue; J KITCHIN Ltd, SHEFFIELD No 2640 1952 Overall size 20" - the blade is 14 3/4" The Broad Arrow indicates this example was made for the War Department . J Kitchin of Birmingham, specialised in war contract edged weapons. Used by the British Army, the U.S. and Australians, and issued them for jungle use, during the 1950's in the Korean War - The Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in 1952, the Malayan uprising from 1948 to 1960, and the war in Vietnam. The Broad arrow proof is clear, 1952 is the date. The impressed company information strike on this blade is typically not deep, in order not to damage the almost finished weapon. You can hardly see the J', a shallow 52 on the date impression means and can't make out the last digit. 5 Large rivets secure what appear to be Bakel
