High Quality Bowie Knife
Marked "George Wostenholm & Son Washington Works" with IXL Trademark and other markings including "The Hunters Companion", with general on horseback stamped at ricasso. The knife shows original pearl grip scales with German silver mountings. The blade is in good to very good condition with some cleaning and polishing. Few slight areas of minor pitting. A handmade American frontier type scabbard is included with a brass rivet made from cartridge case. IXL Knives are the most prized of antique bowie knives and we would date this knife 1850's to 1870's.
