   I have a machete my father bought in Brazil during WW2 and   
   want to find our more about it.  It is unique in that the edge is   
   curved opposite the usual machete.  The tip is shaped like   
   a parrots beak with the inside curve being the cutting edge.   
   It is marked:

   HARTFORD   
   ACERO FINO   
   GARANTIZADA   
   LEGITIMUS   
   NO 742   
      
   Google found nothing on this.   
   I'd appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction   
   re websites, books, catalogs, etc.   
   Thanks
