See the last line .
Seems like it was a fairly large Mfr.

Could also fit the time frame; pre-40's WC CO stamped on the blade as noted .

Soo, the Kampilan blade *could* be a remanufactured machete or implement .

No ?

I think you hit the nail right on the head, Rick.
Well done!!

Hi Henk and Maurice, it may be so .

The only glitch here is that Washington Cutlery didn't export *as far as I know* ,but that doesn't mean that their implements weren't carried abroad by American Soldiers/Adventurers/Planters .
