This is a Victorian era Bowie Knife. It measures 12 ¼” overall with a 7 ¾” spear point bowie blade which is sharp. The blade has areas of staining consistent with age and has a decorative scalloped section spine. The ricasso is stamped on one side ‘K.S’ above ‘Sheffield England’ (unknown, maker or retailer worthy of further research). The clean undamaged polished bone scales are secured by German Silver rivets. One scale has an inlaid void brass escutcheon. The tang has tooled decoration. The Bowie has a brass finger guard with scalloped edge decoration. The dagger is complete with original leather open top scabbard with belt loop stitched to the rear. The belt loop is embossed with two standing human figures either side of a heraldic style crest, possibly a maker’s trademark (illustrated). All leather and stitching of the scabbard are clean & intact. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23256
