Wostenholm & Son Bowie

[Doug Humbarger]

Does anyone know what is this bowie worth?

 

[Josh Dabney]

WOW ! Thats a real beauty !

Although I'm not the person to appraise your knife I'd recommend you contact Norm Flayderman.

I have seen this type and make of bowie in fair condition sell for $600 to $800 without the scabbard.
This knife looks to be in pristine condition.
The price would be doubled plus another $200 to $300 with the scabbard if it is original to the knife.
I am guessing this knife to fetch 1,500 to 2,000 maybe more for the engraving and to the right buyer.
What a beautiful knife........
Thanks for showing it~

Looks 1960's to me
So a search on "fred james wostenholm" on BRL's forum
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/691-Bernard-Levine-s-Knife-Collecting-amp-Identification
Also look up "Jim Parker Wostenholm"
Interesting stuff.....

Better yet
POST the pics on BRL's forum
They will be able to date it better than me

I am not as specifically educated on reproductions as perhaps Trent, but that is a modern knife. Little to no chance it's older than 1950. Run it by BRL (Bernard Levine) and he'll tell you exactly what it is.

That is older than what you think I also think its a presentation type knife and was limited to a very low edition number. AWESOME knife very very nice . Thanks for showing kellyw
