Three (3) Primitive Style Bowie Knives with Native American Style Decoration

Three hand-made bowie knives in Native American style: Primitive style bowie knife with huge stag hilt, long, heavy, meteor iron style blade, in a black leather sheath decorated with steel tack heads, fringe, and carvings in the leather. The majority of the blade is black, rough textured, but the edge is bright, making for a striking contrast (15.75-inches overall, with a 10.75-inch blade that is 2.5-inches wide). A plain traditional style bowie knife with two sheaths, one handsomely tooled, the other more compatible with period costume. The knife has a massive clipped point blade with simple wooden grips and brass down-turned guard. The blade is similar to those found on the classic Western bowie, but a bit heavier. The tooled scabbard has a stooping bald eagle tooled on it, along with a tooled eagle feather, and is stamped Carl Thomas, Maker. The more primitive sheath is simple buckskin, sewn at the edge, with a belt loop on the back (15-inches overall with a 10-inch blade). Hand made bowie knife with rough, hand made sheath with many small tack head rivets. The knife's hilt has a steel cross guard with a rounded rectangle shape.The grip is stacked leather with brass bands. The pommel is a large oval knob that has been painted gold. The blade is classic bowie shape with a long clipped point (13.5-inches long overall, with an 8-inch blade). Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $35.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition:

Fairly great. The third knife has some age to it, the sheath looking somewhat worn. The paint on the pommel is flaked, and the blade appears to have been used. Please see photos.
