LEECH & RIGDON CLIPPOINT BOWIE KNIFE.

LEECH & RIGDON CLIPPOINT BOWIE KNIFE. 8-1/4” clip point blade is mounted in a distinctive 5” Leech & Rigdon crossguard with Leech & Rigdon feathered short sword grip. This exact pattern of Leech & Rigdon we have not seen before. Most often, this style hilt is found with double-edged short sword blade, but this knife was obviously made as a Bowie. Note the bird’s head-shaped pommel, instead of it being round on both sides. CONDITION: : Blade is gray with scattered pitting, and staining. Brass hilt and crossguard show numerous scratches, dents, and old tool marks. The number “62” is crudely cut into top of guard adjacent to a Roman numeral “V”. 8-76222 JS220 (5,000-7,000)
