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 |
