Vintage boot knife, double-edge, with ivory coffin handle, by Gerry Jean

[Stevedge]

Well-executed double-edge boot knife by maker Gerry Gene

- I was told the maker is/was from CT
- Steel unknown
- Flat-ground - stock is about 3/32"
- Looks like nickel-silver hilt
- Elephant IVORY dovetailed handle slabs; somewhat yellowed, as is typical - appears more white, or more yellow, than actual, depending on the effect of lighting in a given photo.
A few minor fissures in the ivory, as is typical, but all intact and fully stable.
- Handle and hilt nicely pinned
- Blade is 3 3/8" to hilt; 6 7/8" overall

Some old-school virtue, here.....

$235. $175. shipped to the CONUS

Gerry JEAN ?

 

[Stevedge]

Yes, must be; thanks much.

The gent from whom I obtained it obviously wrote it down wrong, and I didn't even check it against the initials....
