Vintage or Antique knife
16 November 2024
Description

Unknown maker. My husband had this for at least 40 years, given to him by a family member. Was told it was dug up at an oil site in the 80's and was of some historical significance and allegedly was appraised back when it was found but the historian is questionable. Appears to be a dagger or to attach to the end of a rifle? It obviously looks like it had been buried for some time.

The specialist needs more information

Hi Pam,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It doesn't look like there are any marks on this but can you please confirm that?
You mention this was dug up - are there any more details as to where that might have been dug up from?

Thanks,
Delia

There are no marks and I was told it was dug up in an oilfield in Colorado back in the 1980's

We are experience issues with our image software and I'm unable to see photos of your knife at the moment.
We are working to resolve this issue ASAP but in the meantime, if you are able to email photos of the knife to [email protected], I will finish this appraisal.
I apologize for the inconvenience and delay,
