This Bowie knife from William Webster's Sycamore Works in Sheffield, England, c. 1846-1866 features a 9 1/8 inch long clip point blade with "WILLIAM WEBSTER/SYCAMORE WORKS" on the left ricasso. The cross guard and pommel are German silver, the latter with grapes and grapevine motifs, and the knife has a stag grip. It comes with a fitted Moroccan leather sheath with embossed scrollwork and German silver fittings. The consignor indicated this knife came out of Robert Berryman's or Charles Schreiner III's collection c. 1992.

Fine with mostly bright blade with patches of light pitting and staining, minor nicks at the edge, some flaked varnish on the grip, slightly bent crossguard, attractively aged patina on the silver mounts for the knife and scabbard, and mild wear. Overall, a very attractive Webster Bowie.
