If you have a good loupe, have a look at the sharpened edge - Perhaps you can make out if it was sharpened by hand or on a machine.

 Hi Chris
Hand sharpened definately. Here's the back end where it was only ever 'partially sharp' and the later sharpening starts about 2" from the guard. You can see the old patina and scratches from the earlier sharpenings.
