Henry C Booth & Co Sheffield 1850th fighting knife German silver fittings handle

Description: Rare Civil War era antique fighting knife made circa 1852-1876 by the long-gone Henry C. Booth & Co. in Sheffield, England. The knife is about 10” / 25.4 cm overall; the blade is about 5-3/4” / 14.5 cm long; solid full-tang construction; early 3-line HENRY C. BOOTH / NORFOLK WORKS / SHEFFIELD logo on ricasso. The blade has been sharpened; original light-gray patina throughout; the tip is intact. This rare knife is in fare overall condition but it might need some restoration work done. Handle liners and polished horn handle scales have came apart; German silver fittings have multiple contact marks; the guard is missing a small piece - this knife needs some TLS. Original veneer sheath is included; it's missing the frog stud and the metal tip; the usual scuff marks are noted for accuracy.

Booth & Co. in Sheffield, England. This "dirk" style was quite popular in the States during the Civil War, as evident from contemporary photos of Union and Confederate soldiers posing with their Bowies.  The knife is about 10” / 25.4 cm overall; the blade is about 5-3/4” / 14.5 cm long; solid full-tang construction. Ricasso is stamped with the early 3-line HENRY C. BOOTH / NORFOLK WORKS / SHEFFIELD logo. The blade has been sharpened; original light-gray patina throughout; the tip is intact. This rare knife is in fare overall condition but it might need some restoration work done. Handle liners and polished horn handle scales have came apart; German silver fittings have multiple contact marks; the guard is missing a small piece - this knife needs some TLS. Could be a nice restoration project for someone with the right skill set and plenty of patience. Original veneer sheath is included; it's missing the frog stud and the metal tip; the usual scuff marks are noted for accuracy. This antique Sheffield-made Bowie is in good overall condition for this type; don’t miss your chance to add this rare specimen to your collection! FREE SHIPPING within the US for this item.
