DESCRIPTION: Offered for your consideration is this Non XLL Bowie style knife with stag horn handle by Joseph Allen and Sons. It comes with a leather "studded" sheath, decorated with brass tacks. The stag horn handle is not original to the knife, but adds a nice look to it. Markings seem to date the knife to between about the 1840s to 1890s as the Non XLL brand came out about 1838 (however, part of the hallmark is obscured by the handle). The sheath is newer but it has a good look to it and fits with the overall theme of the knife. 

MAKER: Joseph Allen and Sons. 

APPROX AGE: Circa 1840s - 1890 on the knife, newer on the sheath.

SIZE: Blade measures 5-1/2 inches and overall it measures 10 inches.

CONDITION: Good for its age, normal wear expected and the handle has been replaced. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description and are hereby incorporated into the description, specifically with regards to condition.
