SHEFFIELD BOWIE KNIFE BY JOSEPH RODGERS.

SHEFFIELD BOWIE KNIFE BY JOSEPH RODGERS. You are bidding on an 11-3/8″ overall length bowie with a 7″ blade in leather veneered scabbard with gilt decoration. This knife which dates just prior to the Civil War is marked “Rodgers Cutlers to her Majesty”. The grips appear of checkered ebony retained by two silver pins. The silver cross guard and pommel are decorated with series of rows of balls.
