I Aquired This Bowie Knife Recently in A Trade. To Be Honest I Am Thinking It is going to be a Keeper. I am Having trouble finding out much history on the knife. Knife is Hilt marked Italy. The Sheath is Marked Made in Germany. From online research I have Done the company was originaly started in Italy and moved to Germany and also Florida USA. They produced Switches, Picklocks, Steletos, Bowies, And Cheap Guns. It is one of the few Bowies I have seen that has a sharpened back point edge. I also can not tell what the handle material is. It looks to be Horn but I am not Sure. Seen some of thier Steletos with similar handles described as horn. I am guessing that it dates back to early 50s or earlier. I did See A Very Badly Rusted out one on Ebay. But Really can't compare due to th Very Bad Condition of it Any Help greatly appreciated. Thanks
