Mother of pearl scales with nickel silver reinforced guard and bar shield on obverse. 11 - 3/8” overall. No sheath. CONDITION: Blade dark with scattered light pitting and signs of sharpening, the pearl scales original and in fine condition with just one small surface flaw on reverse. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Antique Bowie Knife Association, dated 1979. Tudor is a little-known manufacturer or retailer and the condition of the pearl scales is a real plus.

Formerly part of the Tommie Jones collection.
