Anyone collect Bowies?

[Miller Bro's]

From left to right, Wostenholm, Woodhead, Dickinson, Celebrated Cutlery, Burdekin, last two can't make out right now.

The last one has a knob in the guard, don't know if that is original or not but it looks like it could be used to hold it in the sheath

Feels like a Western .... no markings.... Any ideas out there from the experts?

G-dog, I have nothing to offer other than to say it sure looks like a Western to me. I wonder if Western ever made unmarked knives for the government.

I liked the the last Puma so well, I decided to try another. G10 handle on this one.

Robpa, I like the very clean lines of your knife.

Thanks Ken, in the Western section of this site (AAPK) there are pictures of a handguard stamped Bowie as well. I just can't figure out how the stamping is not there IF it is a true western ... other than being used for a Gov't contract for the "spooks"

Or, it may have been a "lunch box" knife.
But then I guess it would have been stamped before it was hardened and finish ground and sharpened.

As I recall, Johnny Cash was able to make a knife ... or something like that, buy smuggling parts out in his lunch box .... one piece at a time...

Nice! I've become a Puma fan lately.
Looks like that one may have been made in Germany.

I have a few, Ooops that first one is not mine.
The Winchester has a 9" blade and is 14" overall.

David, I would forget about trying to haul off that big old Bowie knife ... ... after closer analysis of the picture with my sophisticated computer equipment, I noticed the makers mark stamped on the tang.... at a higher resolution it turns out that knife might not be worth the trouble strapping it to the top of your car....

Thanks, definitely made in Germany
