Jack's Son Posted November 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 24, 2011 Perhaps you should check with a "Native American Studies" professor at the reputable university. I would try universities in the SW region of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdunk Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted November 24, 2011 You are welcome. Of course, I should have guessed that from your original post! Sorry I guess I should have specified. I already knew it to be a hospital corp knife but was interested on the symbols and who might have decorated it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
