Picked up a piece of history today

[Lindey]

Here are some shots of a knife I picked up at an antique market today. The handle is still solid but the blade looks to have been reworked a little bit. I'm wondering if any of you collectors happen to have some pics either of the sheath that used to accompany this knife or its original blade shape? If so, feel free to post em here or drop a line.

The bladed is marked H BOKER & COMPANY, SOLINGEN and has the tree to the right. THe handle is leather washers with 4 brass washers. Not sure of the pommel or guard material but it is significantly more shiney than the blade and the pommel has been peened on. Cheers.

Wow, I didn't know, that we did something like this in the past!!!
You also got a sheath to it???

Unfortunately I did not get a sheath with it but I plan to make one in the near future. I'm not too sure how the blade looked in ts earlier years. The swedge looks like it was done by hand. The blade also has alot of tool marks. The handle is solid though.
