Does it have basal grinding? If so, Palmer is a good guess. Just feel around the base and check if it feels smoother than the blade edge. That's the best way I can describe it.
Nice find! It sure looks like part of the Palmer- Kirk family. This link talks about the evolution of Palmers to kirks, I realize it is from N.C., but I think should be relevant to V.A. and M.D as well. Thanks for the view.
