Wedge Shaped Dagger

Curious form. I just picked it up from someone in North Carolina, Bladen County. Looks like it has some age to it.

8.5 inch blade

4 inch handle.

Upon further research, I suspect that this is a later 19th century piece and not a naval dirk. Perhaps Spanish American War period.

Thanks Mark.

Your analysis is "on point" and completely in line with additional comments that I just received about the hatchet off line. Appears to be late 18th century to early 19th century.
