Hi pbleed,

1. I presume that you are inquiring about historical antiques and not modern machetes.

2. They generally were more like short swords than what we would these days call a machete.

3. The Spanish army used large numbers of these and the only place that I have seen them turn up for sale are at this Spanish antique dealers website:

Unfortunately, it is all in Spanish, but I have bought arms from this firm and they are very good to deal with.

Cheers
Chris
