FOUND...Mexican? Pheasant Head Pommel Bowie
I need your help on this one guys. Found at a flea market; 6 1/2 inch blade and 4 inch handle that appears to be horn with plexiglas spacers, brass guard and pommel. Sheath appears original to knife and is nicely made. The tang stamp is hard to make out but looks like GOYZALE or maybe Gonzales?? Blade looks to be forged and is a little crude. Handle is tight with no movement. What have I got?
(sorry about the poor photos)

I have no information on the maker.
The knife and sheath appear to be fron 1950-80`s period.
Most likely a cheap import or tourist bring back knife

Sure looks Mexican to me.
Appears to be one of the higher end of the "tourista" style knives.

Thanks guys! About what I expected. There's always the off chance, you know. Like "Gonzali! Why he's the most famous maker in..."
