These blades were European made and these pieces were European pieces made for trade. I believe these are also called "trade blades" for trade to Native American peoples living in the Eastern and Plains regions. Very rare to find an authentic piece since they were not massed produced and few survived. Many copies are on the market now. If true, this is a great piece in fantastic condition.
