Etched Schofield Bowie Knife
Unmarked Schofield made Bowie knife made during the early California Gold Rush period, circa 1848 to the early 1850s, with a 7 7/8” elongated sharpened false edge clip blade with the rare “Heigh for California” blade etching. It was common for Schofield to leave some knives unmarked so that retailers could put their marks on the ricasso. Fancy cast German silver cross guard, ferrule and early Crown pattern pommel. Fine original black leather sheath and original mounts with oversized button.
