Unmarked 9.75" Scimitar Hand Forged Carbon Steel Rosewood Brass USA(?) 1930s-50s

Unmarked 9.75" butchers scimitar with lightweight but stiff hand forged carbon steel blade and rosewood handle with brass compression rivets. An unusual knife to find hand forged (as seen from the taper in the tang) from this era but the steel has a nice crisp high carbon feel when sharpening. 

Blade had original factory edge when found that had been dulled from some patches of rust that have left some patches of shallow pits and dark pepper-spots.
