Featured in this lot is this Friedr Dick, Native American Indian trade knife, circa 19th century.

A trade knife, or “scalping knife,” was made for the North American fur trade with Native Americans. The condition of this knife is good, with a patina adorning the blade consistent with the age of the knife. The measurements of this Indian trade knife are 15" x 2" x 3/4".
