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
