Description:

This Texas style Bowie knife has faint stamped markings on each side of the ricasso that are indecipherable. 12 1/2 inches in overall length with a 7 5/8 inch drop point blade. The coffin shaped handle is of carved hardwood held in place by two rivets and an oval shaped guard with circular finials. There is a sticker on the handle stating that this is a rare 1840s Texas style Bowie knife of the same type and style as some used at the Battle of the Alamo.

Rating Definition:

Good, showing mostly a smooth brown patina on the blade with some scattered minor pitting, some nicks in the edge, and evidence of cleaning/sharpening. The handle is also good with a crack on one side from the lower rivet to the guard, minor dings and scratches, and mild wear overall.
