Early James Rogers Royal Cutlery Sheffield marked knife with circular cartouche stamped in blade cast steel Bowie knife. The blade has been reduced to approximately 8-3/4"; the knife is now 13-3/8" overall. The blademeasures almost 1-3/4" across the back of the ricasso and the knife is of thick stock being 1/4" to 5/8" wide. The blade reduced at least 3"-4" in our opinion. The blade shows light to heavy pitting and the grip and ferrell are old period replacements. The grip shows a crack, a repair with a nail, and good frontier carry and use. The Bowie knife marking is desirable and rare. Est.: $1,000-$3,000
