The dating is somewhere from 1806- 1845 from what I find.

I spent several hours hand sanding, finishing the blade with 600 grit, W/D paper and buffing the spine and tang with Emory, leaving some pitting which resides mainly on the tang.

The scales were flattened with a clothes iron, sanded and steel wooled after a small delamination repair was made with CA, near the wedge. Soaked in Neats foot oil for about a week, then buffed with Flitz. Odd...one is black horn, other is brown with streaks.

Pinned with original wedge, brass pins, and some bronze collars sent to me by Sharpton.

Very nicely done, Mike.
