This listing is for a RARE and UNUSUAL antique Hunter\'s Knife one very SIMILAR to another illustrated in The William R. Williamson Collection
The Bowie Knife blade shape incorporates a pair of Skinning and Gutting SCISSORS that fold-away parallel to the main blade when not required
The SPRING-LOADED Scissors are engaged by releasing a catch at the back of the polished-bone handle. Spring remains STRONG and in perfect working order centuries after it was crafted
The Steel latch locks and grips tightly in PERFECT working-order
The FIERCE looking blade has a \"False Edge\" as typically seen on Bowie Knives, and remains VERY SHARP with no nasty sharpening marks.....Clearly cherished by its many owners over the centuries
This wonderful antique dagger is VERY FIRM with NO movement in handle and very tight action = SUPERB for such an OLD and clearly well-used Hunting Dagger
AGE = Second half of the 1800\'s formerly the PROPERTY of a GENTLEMAN HUNTER this will make a SUPERB addition to any collection hunting lodge or MUSEUM
Likely of FRENCH manufacture and MAKER MARKED with initials \"G. v e P\" ?? and \"Brevete\" (Patented) if any kind collector out there can ADVISE who the initials may belong too ? I would be most grateful :-)
LENGTH = Overall length is 13\"
The Knife has a very beautiful and comfortable CARVED NATURAL handle with German Silver pins, exhibits a few fine old age cracks that are not structural and are more a sign of AGE PATINA than \"damage\"
We will happily COMBINE and save you $$$ on courier fees :-)
