I agree with your estimate and it even could be early 20th century despite obvious wear. (OTOH, 22" is still on the smaller side and a blade like this could well be earlier IMHO.)
Square or rectangular?

Thanks for the feedback Kai! Sorry for being unclear about the tang- I'm attaching a pic of the remaining piece before i did tang surgery. I was guessing that the original form of the whole tang narrowed into a point at the tip (like an elongated triangle) as opposed to being purely rectangular. So i soldered in a modern tang that also narrowed towards the tip, and ended in a sharp point.
