Create my profile now!Before his death in 2006 David Hayden-Wright was a renowned collector of English knives and edged weapons, his many years of experience led him to write his famous collector's bible 'The Heritage of English Knives' which contains 100's of quality descriptions and illustrations of knives and edged weapons. This Victorian Folding Bowie is in excellent condition and is from the renowned collector & author David Hayden-Wright’s preeminent collection of antique knives. This Bowie is illustrated and described on page 220 of Hayden-Wright’s book ‘The Heritage Of English Knives’ (the illustration of this Bowie from his book is reproduced in image 1, although the image from the book does not illustrate the scabbard the author comments that the Bowie has its original leather scabbard which can be seen in our images). It is 9” overall length when folded. The knife's 8” clip point blade is undamaged and has just light staining consistent with age. The blade is crisply marked on one side with the makers or retailers name. It has attractive chequered polished horn scales with brass fillets which are in great condition secured by German Silver pins. It correctly has no finger guard. One scale has a German Silver button which, when pressed releases the blade to open to its full length. When fully extended the knife measures 12 ½” overall. The ‘eared’ spring back blade lock when lifted releases the blade for folding. The knife is complete with original brown leather open top scabbard with stitched rear seam & belt loop. The price for this campaign Bowie worthy of further research regarding the makers or retailers includes UK delivery. Sn 20814
