'Africanised' machete

I have seen quite a few of these "enhanced" machetes on fleabay, over the years. Must've been a popular theme. The style of British machete shown was issued from before WWI, to well after WWII. The wrokmanship on the piece in question, is better than most, and looks to be pre WWII.

I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL MACHETES VERY SIMULAR FROM THE CARRIBEAN, THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. MANY OF THE ISLANDS WERE OCCUPIED BY TRANSPORTED AFRICANS FROM VARIOUS TRIBES AS A RESULT ALL THINGS AFRICAN DON'T NECESSARLY COME FROM AFRICA.

A NICE EXAMPLE SHOWING GOOD AGE.
