This is a reproduction of one of the first Bowie knives that was ever made.  The Searles Bowie.  Circa 1830's.  Jim Bowie, and his brother Rezin, lived about halfway in between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and Daniel Searles lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Searles heard about the Mississippi sand-bar fight that Jim was in.  The guns had mis-fired and Jim had to resort to using his knives that he had with him that night.  Jim killed all the opponents and knowledge of the Bowie knife that Jim had used spread from there.
Handle is African Blackwood with fine silver pins.
