another Thanksgiving giveaway

That's a great knife!
I have owned two or three of those in the past, I held onto one the longest - that I have always regretted selling - and it was a F.A Bower, and it had the most amber beautifully aged Stag on the handle-just fantastic, same Sheath etc.
I see your Handle is the same in colouring - beautiful!!

F.A.Bower seemed to be just that wee bit earlier than most of the Generic Solingen "Bowies" that were made from Stainless - a lot of those were very nice knives, the Bowers always had good Carbon blades on the Buffalo Skinners.

Eisman - that Solingen - is that an Anton Wingen Jr knife? - they always went for the better money - great knife there Sir.

I would love to " be in " please, great give-away and thank you for your generosity to us here in traditionals :thumbup:
 
Wow, that looks awesome. I'm so totally in!

I would definitely use it, it's too cool not to use. But I baby my stuff so it would live a fulfilling but pampered retirement.
 
I'm in. That cutlass would be a great big brother for my little Schrade.

"something inane, germane to the o.p."
i really like the leather sheath and stag handle (pretty inane and germane for a german knife eh?:-)

and a bit of google fu:
"in about 1450, crow leader no intestines received a vision and separated from the ancestral tribe, which remained along the missouri river as sedentary farmers known as hidatsa. No intestines led his band on a long migratory search for sacred tobacco, finally settling in southeastern montana, where they became known as the many lodges or mountain crow. By 1490, the crow were firmly established in a homeland that included the tongue river valley–in south central/southeastern montana, and northern wyoming."

id say that guy had guts!

Very generous gaw btw
happy holy daze

Well done Jon, a worthy winner :thumbup:

Thanks again for doing the giveaway :)
 
Thank You Tongue River!

That is my first win in 40 years. I am very grateful and hope the Karma bunnies repay you bountifully.

I did a search on ebay and found this one sold the day before you posted the GAW
