AFRICAN BOWIE KNIFE ?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			A recent aquisition which came in with some Khukri's. 
 
Not seen anything like this before. 
Silver and ivory pommel. 
Brass crossguard 
Blade looks like an American " Case " combat knife, but is much thicker than the couple that I have seen. 
Scabbard is decorated rawhide 
Belt appears to be of local manufacture as does the brass buckle. 
 
Any suggestions as to origin ?? 
 
Thanks 
Roy
