South American bowie??

Hi Jim,

Thank you very much for your comment and for confirming my guess that it's a possible Mexican knife. I did a little bit of online research after your hint regarding Oaxaca, the knives shown are very similar, especially the pommel and the inlaid handle horn scales. But the pommels by the found examples show mostly an eagle instead of a horse and most of the blades show etchings. And the leather scabbards are less fancy.

Regards,
Detlef
