VERY RARE SCAGEL MADE IVORY HANDLED HUNTER. Very rare Scagel-made ivory-handled hunter. This knife was made in 1935 for J.D. McMillan. The overall length is 11″ and the blade length is 6″. The blade is slightly upswept and stamped with Scagel’s name stamp and Kris. It has a heavy pure silver guard and pure silver bird’s head pommel. The ivory slabs are held by three pins. The accompanying fancy Scagel-made sheath is embossed. This piece is pictured on page 125 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie and also in the 1996 Scagel calendar – the month of January, the top image. The sheath is pictured on page 64 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, the picture on the top right. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection CONDITION: This knife is in extra-fine condition. The blade shows a few scratch and scuff lines. The ivory slabs do not show any checks or cracks. The Scagel-made sheath is about mint. This is a heavier-than-usual Scagel ivory-handled hunter, rarely found mounted with ivory and pure silver adornments. It would be a wonderful addition for anyone looking for a great and rare Scagel hunter. 4-45553 JL33 (18,000-26,000)
