POMMEL..HANDLE IS MADE OF ALTERNATING 1/8" WIDE STRIPS OF BLACK/BROWN LEATHER WRAPPED AROUND HANDLE...
ANY INFO ON AGE, WHAT 459 MEANS,GOOD KNIFE OR CHEAPLY MADE?, COLLECTABLE/RARE & APPROX. VALUE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...
a quick look on ebay found about five edge brand knives. the 459 is a pattern number. probably a servicable german knife. not too collectable. not selling for much on ebay, so i would say not too valuable. i believe they are the company that makes the "original bowie knife". of course they are'nt.
