First and foremost I know nothing about knives. What you see is what you will receive. Please view photos carefully. 

Offered for eBay is an old bowie style knife. It has a pistol grip wood handle. No rivets. Looks to be handmade.  Knife blade is secure/tight in wood handle. I have no idea of age. It was with several pieces of Civil War era flatware.  

Blade measures 3 7/8" in length.

    All items are from a clean, pet free, non smoking home.     Also remember our items are old and have been used.  Items are not new.     

     Please read measurements as some of the photos have been enlarged to show detail.  Please ask questions if you have concerns.  

     Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day.
