Unmarked American Bowie
If you like tough early American Bowies, this is your knife! Mountain Man, Cowboy, Gold Seeker, Indian, who knows, but one of them carried this knife. It's a very very heavy knife for it's size. The knife has brass furniture, as is found on a majority of American bowies. The 7 inch blade is 1/4 inch thick (adding to the weight). Overall, the knife is 11 1/4 inches long. You can see the handle has a crack, but is solid as a rock, and there is no wiggle or movement to the blade or handle. Overall condition is rough, but it's the real deal, not like so many fakes being sold on ebay. If you are trying to collect American bowies, but can not afford them, this is your chance. If the knife was mint, you would add $1000 to the price below.
PRICE: $550.00 |
