Hi there , I am doing some research on a area along the Red River in Manitoba Canada.  We came upon this Hand forged Meat Cleaver and was wondering if your Experts may help with a Time frame of manufacture, Any info would be very welcome.

Thanking you for your assistance,

Your items appear to be made of steel, no wrought iron.  Fur trade era item usually were not all steel. I don't know when 100% steel usage became common. As a guess post 1850's.
