You're not going to like my reply :-( but I believe this is a
total fake. It is a rework IMHO of a 1950-60's carving knife made
in India. I've seen dozens and dozens of knives exactly like this
with carved sheaths and handles and plainly marked made in India
or just India.
it's ok rich, lol. this specific knife was sold on ebay awhile back (not to me) and the only reason i saved the picture was because the seller said it was a civil war knife, and the locking mechanism intrigues me. never saw anything like it. i was gonna post it awhile back and see if anyone recognizes it. i'm glad i procastinated...
