      hand-forged blade... That's something. I love old stuff. I sure hope someone can point to a period for that.

      She lived in Kansas, she was a descendant of Col. Garret Van Meter from the Revolutionary War. I have no idea if it could date that far back or not.

      I was thinking handmade too will be really hard to pin that one down if not impossible. It does show some age so it is vintage. The point looks a bit like bowie style, clip point I believe. Could be 75 years could be 175.
