**QUALITY**Victorian Bowie Knife With ‘Drop Down’ Extendable Blade, Stag Antler Scales, Brass Bolsters, Blade Release Lever & Open Top Leather Bucket Scabbard. Sn 17730 - 17730

This is an excellent Victorian Bowie Knife with drop down, extendable blade. It is 10 ¾” overall length when the blade is locked in its short blade ( 5 ¾” length cutting edge) position. When the brass locking lever on the spine of the hilt is operated the blade drops down or can be pulled out and extends to 8 ¼” length cutting edge (13 ¾” overall). The blade is undamaged and has just light staining consistent with age. The spine of the blade has a small hole in the mid section which allows the blade to be locked into its short position by lifting the release lever & pushing the blade back into the hilt. The release lever is numbered ‘13’ but there are no other maker or date marks on this quality made extendable Bowie. It has attractive Stag antler scales which are in great condition secured by steel pins & brass bolsters. The knife is complete with original open top brown leather bucket scabbard. The scabbard has no belt loop and has a small 1.5 cm cut on one side of the throat consistent with it being cut by the blade when being removed from the scabbard at some point in its life. The price includes UK Delivery. Sn 17730
