A really beautiful knife & scabbard.  The 8" blade is is etched on it's left side in a beautiful floral design and what I beleive to be Latin phrases. The obverse side is plain.  The blade is still razor sharp and is stamped on the ricassco "Crookes & Clarke".  They had a shop in Boston, Ma. in the 1850's.  The grip is ivory with a wonderful mellow patina. The scabbard is leather a made in a spotted leoppard pattern and framed in silver.   I don't remember ever seeing one like it before.  This bowie really has eye appeal.
