Hi,
If you search '19thC ivory hilt spear point Bowie knife' you should get some similar pieces. The enterprising Victorians, as today, freely used 'buzz words' i.e. Bowie, to market all manner of knives. Whether we would recognise them as typical Bowie knives is doubtful and open to interpretation, there is even a so-called cutlery hilted version.
Regards,
Norman.
