I usually don't do many bowie's but this one caught my eye. I believe this is a Louisiana made fighting knife, as that is where it came out of. No makers marks, 15 inches overall, with a 10.5 inch blade. Great ivory coffin handle grips. This would be a circa 1840 bowie. These didn't have scabbards, you carried them in your belt or waist band. One side if the knife has pitting, though not very deep. Probably from sweat, the other side nearly none. great little piece of early American frontier.

A very fine condition 1818 Nathan Starr cavalry saber. except for a few age blemishes I would be able to rate this near mint. this has the original Jappaned black iron scabbard with no dent. a really neat old American sword.
