Very nice! o you have an idea as to what year it was made?

1830-40

James Rodgers

I know this is old thread but here is a picture of knife when he went to Cuba. He was in the indian wars before that. Anyhow this is right around 1898 I think

Here are some I bought this morning.

I like getting this one out once in awhile. Just love the tapered tang on it

There made by Randall

A few fixed blades I got in the last few months

Those where made in the 20s same time as the grizzly. Thats a cheap price actualy

Here is one from Chile. British where there in the mid 1800 A Gusto Espaillatso On the tang

That is a very beautyful and expansive knife. Way far from my knife. If my knife was valued to 10% of that I would be a happy guy.

I would love to own your knife

The picture in the stanhope will give you the age. Looks to be a presentation knife given to some war hero or something like that. I hope you have the sheath. Collins made some real early bowies but that looks to be 1860s----1880s So do you think its that old? Got a swedish army knife too. So maybe...

I thought they were small rubies until I read the above question about where to look for the Stanhope, now all I see are screws.

I figured out what happened
The drool got in my eyes some how. Man thats a nice knife to me

Well now I see screws and am heading out to the eye doctor. omg

That is one fine bowie knife. Hold the knife up to the light and look thru the stanhope. That little glass part. Might get more info from the picture. That knife with ivory handle is worth some money . dont piss it away

There is a ships anchor and other writing on the blade. I guess he got tired of the tip of the sheath falling off.
