Hello, Fernando. Sorry...I was away from my computer for awhile. Yes, I would still date the American piece as EITHER late 18th to early 19th century. This was a time in America's history when materials were scarce and edged weapons typically crude, but very folk-art, if you know what I mean. It would fit nicely into a Revolutionary/ war of 1812 setting. $60!!! Wow! You got quite a steal. Even as a primative piece, you can do a search and see the kind of prices these naval pieces are getting. They typically sell for the same or more than a British naval piece in much better condition/same period. Again, nice catch!
