Just going through notes, I found a reference to some blades made in Solingen for Cuban machetes which were by Luckhaus & Gunther from c. 1895-1900, and numbered at forte. There were several blades with numbers in sequence.
Perhaps blades going into Ethiopia (typically Harar) for kaskara, as the floral decorated examples might have been numbered in a similar manner.
