Photos Old Barlow Knife found

[MyBarlowFind]

I found this knife and cleaned it up to try and identify it. I also made some down and dirty side plates to make it look a little better.
It definitely has a Simicar and Z stamped on the blade.
I would love to know more about the age and possible maker.

From what I have found Samuel Barlow first used this mark in 1723. The use of this mark was passed down through the family right into the 20th century. So, take your pick....Samuel Barlow Sr, Samuel Barlow Jr, his son John, Johns son Samuel, then Samuels son-in-law Henry Mills Sr. then Henry Mills Jr....all used this mark over the years....

Wow. Now there’s a blade that’s seen some use and sharpening. If only they could talk!

Wonder if a 130 years from now someone will be looking at a Spyderco the same way?

Thank you. I found on one of my mining claims, a 1850s Mining camp. It's tough to find info on these little buggers. I appreciate you looking it up for me.
