Condition:

The Western bowie is excellent, and nearly new condition, with the original paper wrapper in the sheath. There are two minor spots on the blade from poor storage.

The Case bowie is mint in its original box.

The "tg" knife is excellent.

The theater bowie is very good, but has been given a rough finish intentionally. It is an outstanding fighting knife.
