Early marbles ideal?
Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2020 5:05 am
I got this knife 3 years ago at an auction in a box with a bunch of odds and ends and one of those Mexican tourist knives with a birds head handle. The auctioneer actually held it up and described this Marbles Ideal as a “kids shop class experiment that went haywire”. I guess he had never seen a stag pommel before. I knew it was an early ideal, but wasn’t sure how early. I never bought one before because I thought they were too pricey on ebay.. Anyhow my research indicates that it could be a 1911-1918 half hilt stag pommel ideal. Anyone have better info? 5 in blade with 1/2 in nut. Don’t know if the sheath is original or not.
