Manufacturer: Solingen, Germany
A vintage, used Bowie knife & leather sheath from Solingen, Germany for your inspection. (I had battery problems & will take some better photos soon.)
The knife measures 9 1/2" long with a 5 1/2" long blade. The blade shows use & sharpening but has not been abused. The blade is 1/8" thick & 1 5/16" wide at it's widest point.

The tang is inscribed with "911" & with "Solingen Germany" very faintly inscribed below the number. The blade has no dings or deep scratches, & no rust though it is patinated on both sides.
The handle is framed with one piece of steel which includes the bolster, pommel, & backside of the handle, all of which is in good condition without any damage.
The faux stage handle is held in place with one rivet. The handle has no cracks or chips.
The knife fits into it's dark brown leather sheath well & is secured with a snap strap. The sheath has 3 places where the stitching has worn through; however, the rivets hold the sheath so as to keep the knife securely in place. The sheath has 2 surface scratches which in no way weaken the leather.
The knife is a heavy Bowie knife, ideal for the sportsman who enjoys using a top quality knife. |
