Well got this guy from the bay today! Its in pretty good shape for being almost 200 years old. Its a George johnson very early i think.. it has a really cool "1834" etching from one of the original period owners.. What do yall think?

Thats one of the thing in trying to figure out.. IDK whether i will use it or not. The tang is paper thin and my hands are pretty big, i dont want to risk dropping it..here is a pic of the spine and another with it compared with a more recent blade from the 1870s lol

Really, not bad condition for how old it is.
