These show up all the time for sale…these I would call complete fakes! Made to deceive buyers. And they do quite often.

Which is pretty sad, since some of them, like these two here, are very handsome knives in their own right...

Looks more like an M1 Carbine with the barrel cut off.....

Another interesting historical piece -- most likely made in Sheffield, but with the unusual Spanish motto La muerte antes que la deshonra ('Death before dishonor'):

I posted more info and pics about this knife in the Non-American bowie-type knives thread (post #47), in case anybody wants to share their two cents.

This sold yesterday at auction. It’s a complete fake!
