Thanks for the comments Jim. I too was wondering about the markings on the blade. I believe all of the early presidents had ties to Masonry. The arrow pointing to the tip interested me. I've only seen one or two others that were almost the same, some with bone grips, another with this style but different cross guard and extra names on the blade. I believe the non presidential names were Generals in the Revolution. I love malukes myself and have been looking for an early USMC one.
