RARE SCAGEL BROW-TINE FIGHTER. This Scagel-made brow-tine fighter is the cover knife for the book and is also pictured on page 141, the center picture. This knife has absolutely beautiful aesthetics and is patterned as an early style as pictured in the early VL&A catalogs with the neat clip point. The overall length is 11-1/4″, with a blade length of 6-1/8″. The blade is stamped with Scagel’s name stamp and the underlined “USA”. Brass guard and brass pommel on the end of the brow-tine white tail deer stag with a single rivet. Stacked red colored fiber and leather spacer handle with two extremely decorative ivory spacers mid-way on the handle. Scagel-made fine rawhide laced pouch sheath with long, leather-braided tassel. The sheath is stamped with Scagel’s name stamp and USA. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: This knife about as near mint as a Scagel knife can be. It has not been used and there are no pits. There are very few, almost microscopic fine scratch lines along the edge. It is about impossible to find a Scagel in any better condition than this piece. The sheath is in fine condition, with a few carrying and wear marks near the belt loop openings. 4-45555 JL35 (18,000-26,000)
