Dam near qualify that as a sword! Awesome pic and piece of family history.

That would be great, if that knife was still in the family. That would make a hell of a heirloom.

Wow. Huge knife and great picture.

Here's one of my Great Grandpa. He served under Leonidas Polk (Ft. Polk) in the 17th Louisiana Regiment. He named my Grandpa after him, Leo Polk Weldon.

Man, that’s great to be able to trace your history.

Dave, I’ll try to say nicer things about Ft. Polk after reading this.

I'm pushing 72. My Grandpa Weldon was born in 1894 and died in 1963. His father, Abraham J. Weldon, was born in 1837 and died in 1898 when my Grandpa was just 4 years old. He had two wives and had several children late in life.
