I picked this up for surprisingly cheap. A Joseph Rodgers, 1830-37, with full blade etching: both blade faces, both tangs, and spine, nearly the entire available surface.

Terrific find. A real tour de force in the art of SR blade etching.

That's awesome! I have never seen something like that.
That's a wonderful find!! Enjoy it.
I have a F Fenney similar but this one is much nicer. I've never seen one with a lot of etching like that one. it's such a beauty!!!!!!!
GREAT blade ya found.......
Looks pretty clean.... I can't wait to see what the finished product is going to look like......
Ivory scales would be top choice for those!
:chapeau
Awesome find. I'm looking forward to the finished product also...
That one needs some silver or pearl scales, JMO.
