Beautiful Arnacellum hunter. These are really nice, well made knives (I've two
of them; one exactly like this). While not "bowies" in the classical sense;
ie, too late and wrong countries; still really finely made knives. Flayderman
(if I recall) attributes to being made for English in India circa mid - late 1800's;
brought back to England and then to US circa turn 20th C. Quality certainly
nothing like the carved sheath India carving knives I was referring too.
