✅ SOLVED ???Pocket Knife???

[djrong]

Curious about anything on this. I have only found 1 online in a Civil War lot of pocket knives but it does not give information so I am not sure. Metal detector pinged showing silver when I found it.

Thank you for any assistance...

Looks more like a straight razor.

These were made by Edward Barnes & Son. It’s debated as to if they are civil war era or later, but they were patriotic, not military. The company was in business from 1833-1888. Here is a photo from the book Civil War Artifacts by Howard Crouch.
