Large old ''bowie'' scout knife ?

[Interested Party]

I would agree with the serrations being an old file or made to be a file. I made one knife and cut half the spine into a file. I was not happy with the functionality.

The top of the sheath looks relatively new, and machine sewn. I would not be surprised if there was a liner of plastic helping it hold its shape similar to some 1970s Schrade sheaths.
