EAGLEHEAD BOWIE KNIFE & SHEATH.

16” overall, 11” thin clip point blade with integral bolster, grip was utilized from early circa 1815 Baltimore eaglehead with very unusual, fluted burl walnut handle, leather sheath. Genuine eaglehead knives are rare and this one has great appeal using such early pommel & pierced “S” guard. CONDITION: knife is very good overall, gray/blade with staining and light pitting, brass has traces of gold wash and chocolate brown patina, hand worn patina to wood grip. Sheath is unsewn and has had iron pins placed to stabilize it. (02-16790/JS). $2,000-3,000.
