I would like information and if possible value of the following:::
#1...Browning 1886 skinners knife......This knife was sold with the
Browning 1886 replica rifle.It is marked Browning 1 of 2500 is in unused
condition with sheath that is marked Browning 1886 made in USA.
#2...L.L. Bean Limited Edition trappers knife made by Bowen knife Co.
I beleive only 2500 of these knives were made.Half with stag handles and
Half with rosewood handles.This is a rosewood handle.
I am the original owner of this knife and it is has a small brass rifle
shell on the side that has #0100 on it.The knife was a gift to me and
the person that gave it to me was going to get me #0046 for my birth
year but I chose #0100 because the first 100 of the rosewood and stag
handles were for employees only.#0001 of both went to the president of
L.L.Bean.I beleive I received the knife in 78
Unfortunately I no longer have the box,registery paperwork or the velvet
bag it came with..
This is not to be cofused with the later limited edition knife that only
had one blade engraved "Limited Edition" and has no numbered rifle shell
and no etching on the drop point blade.
The drop point blade on this knife has a beautiful acid etched woodland
scene that has a trout jumping out of a stream after a mayfly on the
right and a buck running into the stream on the left.
#3.. This machete belonged to my great grandfather who lived in Cuba
about 1900 Is what I have been told is a Collins fighting machete.It is
28" long with green bone handle.It is marked
No.623 `890
Collins Co.
Hartford
Calidad
Garantizada
It has a symbol of an arm holding a hammer comeing out of a crown and is
made of some really good steel which is rare for most machetes of this
type I have seen.It will sharpen like a razor and hold the edge.
It has the original scabbard that has some leather work design on it.
#4...Is I guess a Bolo type kife 20" long and is marked S & J Kitchen
Ltd., Sheffield, No.2640 and has an upward pointing arrow with 1955
under it.The scabbard has the upward pointing arrow and below it is is
marked B.H.G. 1944 with a large 3 overstamped over the last 4
