Hi Katana,

It is marked with P C SCHULTE. The word GARAN is clearly visible followed by possibly a T. The next two caracters are not visible followed by ADO.

Schulte is a Dutch or German name. The machete looks to me as a military machete. I've seen that kind of machetes that belonged to the equipment of the US soldiers in WWII. But I'm not sure it is a machete around WWII and of US origin.
