I love the Canadian Machete! It's what the offspring of a mating between an American and an English machete would look like! lol

Please excuse my ignorance, but as I see no C broad arrow displayed on this machete, what makes it a Canadian issued item?

Legitimus Collins & Co. Made In USA 1250 machete. These machetes were made under contract for the Canadian military & were not used by American forces. This piece is about 19 1/2" long with the blade measuring about 14 1/2". this machete is a full tang construction with smooth black bakelite grips. I believe the Canadian Army classified this as a "Bush Knife". The sheath made in Canada Ottawa and Montréal.

That's a nice piece, this link is to a US Navy Legitimus Collins & Co machete, although not Canadian a really cool piece in my opinion. A cross between a machete and a sword. Must have been for Navy shore party or boarding party.
I bid, but no winner.

That's a great looking machete Mike. Looks like a cutlass.

Here are examples of the Canadian and British WWII Machetes. My Legitimus Collins is not nearly as pristine.
