Hey Mark:
Great to hear from you. I was curious after reading about Bladen County, NC which had a significant immigration of Highland Scots starting in the 1730s.
I am wondering whether this blade has some connection, as the wedge shape reminds me of Scottish dirks, daggers, etc. Curious whether this may be an earlier, 18th century piece, perhaps made in America by a Highlander.
I will need to see if the blade has any markings when it arrives. Not sure if that is an older fuller in the pictures.
