Thanks CxIII 
, ... after that picture, I put it into the oil tank and let it "drip-dry" so to speak, next step is to buff it a little on a wire wheel.Re: Anyone collect Bowies?

I love the old time look of that knife, @GSPTOPSOG.
I recently heard that Bear and Son had bought the tooling for the original Western 49 from Camillus when that company stopped production.
I always wanted a Western 49, so I bought one.
Pretty nice knife and sheath for the money and USA made in Alabama.
