Hi Carl,

The central pattern on your blade resembles "Turkish ribbon," which has been discussed elsewhere on the Ethnographic Forum. Your pictures are very large. I will resize them. Perhaps you could post smaller ones next time so that they will fit on a single screen rather than having to scroll across. The recommended file sizes are listed in the "Manage Attachments" section of the Thread Post page.

This looks like a very good save. Nice old blade. BTW, I think the handle looks fine and appropriate for an old garbage bin find.
