Description
I DO NOT REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS ITEM. MY FATHER FOUND THIS WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY IN A DIRT PILE, WHERE A POST OFFICE WAS GOING TO BE BUILT IN NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HE TOLD ME BEFORE THE "DIRT PILE" IT WAS JUST A WOODED AREA. I'VE SPOKEN TO SOME PEOPLE WHO SAID IT LOOKS LIKE A LETTER OPENER FROM THE 1920'S. I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT IT BECAUSE ABOVE THE HILT OF THE "SWORD" THE WORD INDIA IS ENGRAVED. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE AND EVEN MAKE OUT. IT'S ENGRAVED BY USING TINY DOTS. ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ITEM WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
