LARGE Old Vintage Custom Bowie Gator Hunting Knife Signed L. PAFFRATH '69

Description

When we recently acquired a collection of theater-made and military knives, this incredibly hefty old bowie knife stood out head and shoulders above the rest--the pick of the litter. It's expertly done and was obviously made by someone with excellent skills.  It was made to be carried and used, not just admired, and in the field it would have provided its user with a knife of substantial effectiveness.
Signed on its GORGEOUS custom-made sheath, L. PAFFRATH, '69," this
a substantial piece for any kind of hunting or field use and a WORLD of trouble for anybody you don't like, of that you can be sure.  It's heavy-duty carbon steel blade is even better looking in person than the digital pictures make it look, silver-soldered firmly into place with a brass finger-guard and oak handles all over a full tang.  Even better than its look, I think, is the feel of it in your hand
--excellent balance.
As fine as the knife itself is its sheath may be even better.  It's beautifully tooled and dyed to show a gator in the wild and to call this a gator hunting knife would be NO stretch of the imagination.
It's the kind of piece that makes one want to go looking for trouble!  Measures a nice big 13" long with an 8" blade.   An outstanding knife by any measure, yours for the bidding.
