Description:

Produced in Buenos Aires. Blade is 9 1/2" long, with the Boker "HEINR.BOKER&CO.BAUMWERK/ SOLINGEN-GERMANY-ALEMANIA/ ARBOLITO-TREEBRAND" marking next to the tree trademark on the left side. Both the hilt and sheath are engraved silver, marked "INDUSTRIA/ ARGENTINA", "800" in a diamond and "V.89" on top of the throat. Both sides of the grip are engraved with ranch scenes, with gold inlay of 3 horses and a tree on the right and a well, barn, and a woman baking on the left. OAL: 15 3/4". More ranch scenes are engraved on the sheath, with a sun, tree, house and diamond in gold on the belt hook, a man and woman dancing to guitar music on one side, and a mounted cowboy with lariat chasing 3 horses on the reverse. The drag is symmetrical, with a bird perched upon a disc on both sides.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The blade show some mild handling marks and sheath wear, and the silver components show a few light scratches and dings. A fine aged color is forming on the sheath and grip, darker in the lower areas.
