FINE SCAGEL MADE HUNTER WITH A BRASS BIRDS HEAD POMMEL.

FINE SCAGEL MADE HUNTER WITH A BRASS BIRDS HEAD POMMEL. Fine Scagel-made hunter with a brass bird’s head pommel.This is a fine Hunter model pictured on page 128 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. The overall length is 10-1/4″, and the blade length is 5-5/8″. Scagel’s bird’s head pommel knives are quite scarce and this particular one is enhanced by the addition of a pure silver plate soldered to the end of the brass bird’s head pommel. The pommel is attached to the tang with one rivet. Another very desirable feature is the use of 8 real silver spacers immediately behind the brass guard. Usually these thin spacers are of aluminum. Beautifully styled stacked leather and red fiber spacers placed symmetrically at the front end and back end of the handle. The blade is well-marked with Scagel’s name stamp and the Kris. It has the original Scagel-made wrap-around leather sheath with a brass pinwheel snap on the retaining strap. Ex collection Thomas Monroe. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: The blade has been cleaned and there is a very tiny microscopic nick on edge of blade about 2″ from the tip. The handle is in perfect condition with no breaks or looseness. The belt holding loop has separated from its top two rivets, which is easily repairable. 4-45549 JL29 (9,000-13,500)
