Hand made bowie knife with natural stag hilt with a piece of rough turquoise set in the pommel, and hand finished bronze mounts, in a leather sheath the front part of which is covered with real snakeskin, probably from a diamondback rattler. There is a small companion knife also with natural stag hilt mounted on the front of the sheath. The blade is plain, but well-shaped, with a very long clipped point. The knife is somewhat crude, but shows skilled craftsmanship. The companion knife has USA stamped on the ricasso. Size: 16 1/4 inches long with a 10 inch blade. The companion knife is 5 1/4 inches long with a 3 inch blade. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Very good, but with signs of wear and use. The belt loop on the sheath is broken through. The blade has spots on it and shows sharpening. The companion knife has a loose guard.
