This is a scarce sword or machete designated the Spanish Model 1900 Machete for Security Forces (Machete Modelo 1900 para Fuerzas de Seguridad de Espanola). Very distinct down-swept pommel/grip style with rectangular slot for sword knot or lanyard. Appears to be walnut gripped, held in place by two slotted screws, inset nuts, flush with the grips; brass cross-guard, steel ovoid pommel.
Straight, blunt, unsharpened blade, single-edged, rounded tip. Scabbard is of black leather body with brass throat (and should have a brass drag but that is missing on this example).
Overall length is ~33-1/4"; blade length is ~27-3/8"; width at ricasso is ~1-3/8"; thickness is ~1/4".
Blade has scattered light surface rust, red oxide in color (should clean up nicely). Scabbard is partial and a bit worse for wear; drag and lower portion of scabbard is missing (see images).
From the Estate of Russ "Rusty" Cox, character actor (The Wind and the Lion, Broken Spur, The Sacketts, Rough Riders, On the Line).
Overall condition about good.
