Three smaller knives, two with brown leather sheaths: A small bowie knife with stag grip German silver guard, and classic bowie style blade stamped XLNT on one side of the ricasso, and A.W. over Czechoslovakia and another illegible word on the other side, possibly Wadsworth & Son. This would date the knife as post WWI. The knife is in a later sheath of brown leather (7-inches overall with a 4-inch blade). A narrow bladed hunting knife with bone grip and brass mounts. The bone appears to be fossilized. The blade is narrow and curved, and may have been reshaped from a longer blade (7.5-inches long with a 4-inch blade). A knife, possibly made for a chef, with a long grip, and a short, very broad stainless steel blade with the handle having the marking: Western States and Patent No. 1967479, which appears to be for the tang, which is apparently U shaped. The knife is in a fitted brown leather sheath. The blade is short, and has a functional serrated back that is also quite sharp (7-inches long overall with a 3-inch long blade that is 2-inches wide). Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Great. The first knife with XLNT markings is in a replaced sheath. Please see photos.
