Here is a fellow with a similar knife. The worn-in-front style seems dangerous to me.

like many civil war, etc 'portrait' photos, it was likely posed and the photographer arranged the weapons to look good. may even have supplied them just for the photo. his revolver is a bit too far forward too, probably to show it off better. he'd do himself an injury if he tripped or fell off his horse, or dropped to the ground into a prone firing position.

Fer, please excuse me. I never thanked you for your reply. Thank you.
I understand what do you mean, but even in a tourist-oriented market of traditional edged weapons you can find the original spirit of the weapon and the scabbard. I agree with you that Europe was the origin of this industry, but the local solutions and ornamentations to the weapons and scabbards gives a unique style and flavor to them. Regards |
