What’s your question? Are you asking if the knife is a Napanoch? If so I doubt it, but clear in-focus pictures of tang stamps and any other markings are needed. The broken blade may have markings on it.
Your post was made in the “AAPK Knife give-aways” section. Is it your intent to give it away?
Welcome to AAPK. We will try to help you but it’s unclear what you want. Probably better to post it here
viewforum.php?f=4 in the Knife Q&A section, and tell us clearly what you want.

Pretty certain that's not a Napanoch. Winchester and Valley Forge made some knives with those multi-rattail bolsters but as far as I know a muskrat or serpentine moose is the only Winchester that had them. Not up on the Valley Forge knives enough to know which of their patterns had that feature.

Welcome Astralea1692, if you can get that broken tang out of the blade well it will probably tell you who made the knife.
It was a dandy in its day.

If you rub the lead point of a #2 pencil on this area you might also find a tang stamp. I also agree with Joe.
