IMPRESSIVE PLAINS INDIAN KNIFE AND SHEATH. Large Indian style knife nearly 15″ long with heavy blade measuring over 9″ in length, and 1-5/8″ wide. Unusual guard is composed of a piece of iron with a forward roll. Handle is covered with rawhide hand sewn along the bottom. extending from the pommel is a rawhide wrist strap. The pommel itself is decorated with three roundhead brass tacks. The scabbard, measuring approx 3-1/2″ wide x 13″ long is fabricated from a single piece of heavy leather, folded on itself and tacked with dozens of roundhead brass tacks. Midway along the length of the scabbard is a belt slot approx 2-1/2″ long which is reinforced by an additional piece of leather stitched in place by rawhide. This knife was previously displayed in the Don C. and Stella Foote Museum near Billings, MT, and is pictured in their pamphlet “TREASURES OF THE WEST”. CONDITION: The knife shows considerable use with scarring on both sides of the blade, and marks on the back of the blade where it has been hammered. The rawhide covering on the handle is complete and intact as is the wrist strap. The guard is loose but appears to have been made that way. The scabbard is in overall good condition and is missing only a few of the tacks. 4-32362 DM29 (7,000-12,000)
