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 etched woodland scene that has a trout jumping out of a stream after a mayfly on the right and a buckrunning into the stream on the left.
#3.. Is what I have been told is a Collins fighting machete.It is 28" long with green bone handle.It is marked No.623

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 knives 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
