Top.
 

 

 

 
Bottom.
 

 
I found the name "LOUDENS" stamped into it.
 

 
Something old and cool.

 
Quiz:  Tell me something about this machete, something that might be stamped into the blade.

 
"August 24, 1949 - The treaty creating NATO goes into effect."
 
Cool man!

Is the machete military maybe?
I can see a US stamp that leads me to think in that direction.

You can see a stamp?? Wow! You're exactly right, but I want to post the photo later tonight so you can see it better, maybe tell us more about it. You are a detective, Sir!

Okay, I didn't know the stamp was visible, but you're right. There's more stamped on it, but we'll have to wait until I get home from work to post the photo.

Im pretty sure if you had a sheath and had it professionally restored youd be looking at $250

Yeah, I just found the info.  Prices were only $20-$30 though, all auctions.  I'd rather have it hanging in my shop. 
 
Yes I was Navy, but I never knew the Navy had machetes.

I just blew up the pic and saw a stamp that looked military.
