Description: Original Horn Handled Collins & Co. Hartford No. 1005 Engineers Bolo / Machete with Hand Tooled Leather sheath. Collins made these from the Spanish American War until just after World War 1. 1898-1918. This one having horn handle scales likely puts it on the earlier side of those dates. By WW1 they were almost all wood handles. Huge heavy blade, nice stamp. Horn handle scales one side is in worse shape than the other. But solid. Hand tooled leather sheath shows signs of distress from age. Really wild and rare piece. One of the strangest blades ever issued by the U.S. in my opinion. All items are promptly shipped USPS Priority Mail- boxed and insured for the full amount. Please see all photos. Feel free to ask any questions.
