This is a beautiful 1/3 scale miniature Bowie knife by master miniature maker Daniel Osterman. This
is known as the number 1 Bowie. The full size original knife featured on pages 34 and 35 of The Antique Bowie knife
Book by Adams, Voyles, and Moss. The following quoted from the book: "Speculators can have a field day with this one. First
the description: This very old knife is silver mounted with ropework filing on the tang, a walnut handle, and is 18 1/2"
long overall. The blade is a long 13 1/2 inches and 1 3/4 inches wide. The unusual thing about this Bowie
is how the handle turns at a slight angle to the blade. Held with the edge up, as was often done by frontier knife fighters,
the blade is level with an extended arm. The ricasso has silver layering, and in it's day it must have been a fancy
looking thing. As for the speculation, we can start by saying it feels as good in the hand as does any knife in this
book, and some of the speculation is prompted by the silver escutcheon marked with a very oldengraving of the words "Bowie
No. 1." Was the knife so engraved by the makerso the owner would know the knife was a Bowie? Or was the Jim
Bowie innovation an unusual angle to the blade, one that was lost over the years? And what if...? Here's one of
the great pleasures of Bowie knife collecting -- you get to fill in the rest. Bob Berryman Collection" The knife measures 6 1/4"
long overall with a 4 13/32" drop point blade. The handle is burl walnut and there is no guard. It is exactly as described in the above desription, just 1/3 the size.
Dan did a masterful job of re-creating this Bowie in miniature. The left side of the silver layered ricasso engraved
D.E.O.+. Complete with the original Osterman hinged top walnut casing, French fit, and lined in green felt.
Dan even made the nickel silver hinges! The outer lid inlaid with an oval German silver escutcheon. A true masterpiece
and really must be seen in hand to fully appreciate. Dan passed away several years and his work is really starting to
climb in value. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12 Price: $2,300.00 |
