Operating out of San Francisco, Will & Finck produced a wide variety of metal and sporting goods, and are associated with the California Gold Rush. Measuring 10 3/4 inches overall, with a 6 1/4 inch clip point blade marked "WILL & FINCK/(illegible) CAL." on the left ricasso. Fitted with a silver oval guard and ferrule, and a contoured one-piece grip. With a brown leather sheath. Included with the knife is a copy of "The Antique Bowie Knife Book" by Adams, Voyles and Moss.

Fair. The blade shows evidence of heavy use, with the edge of the blade visibly shifted backwards by sharpening, a mixed cleaned patina, and scattered pitting. The grip shows a number of age cracks, as well as a fine color and grain. The sheath is in rough shape, with the belt loop/hanger removed from the top and extensive cracking.
