UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum F A Bower Hunting Bowie

On 3 Oct. 2023 a very nice example of a probably? 1950's F. A. Bower # 68 Hunting knife sold for $183.50 USD on the popular auction site. This knife has the probably 1950's? fancy German style sheath with green leather fringe and reinforced leather bottom. The knife & sheath in beautiful condition, with stag handle secured with 4 pins and a nickel-silver bar shield on the stag.

Another F. A. Bower # 68 Hunting knife in used condition with a plain sheath sold for $100.00 USD on 2 Oct. 2023.

Now there is a mint condition F. A. Bower # 68 Hunting knife with embossed stag on plain sheath listed for $280.00 USD or best offer.

I would want the example with the probably, 1950's German style sheath, if I were in the market for such a knife.
