I found this 'VERY IMPORTANT LARGE BOWIE KNIFE BY BRADFORD' at an auction.
14” spear point blade with 4” sharpened false edge. The blade is 1-7/8” wide and over 1/4” thick at the ricasso. Marked “M.L. BRADFORD & CO.” in a circle around “BOSTON” on the left ricasso. The iron crossguard is 4” long and 1-1/4” wide. The hilt is a stag antler and is 5-3/4” long. The leather scabbard has a brass throat and was made without tip. There are rolled lines down each edge on both sides of the scabbard. CONDITION: Fine
Price:$40,000-$60,000 :shocked2:
My question: What makes this Bowie Knife so important. :hmm:
:hatsoff:
