F.W. Backhaus Bowie knive with dedication 1911
I was able to come accross this unmarked Backhaus (50% are unmarked, some have the full name along the blade, others have a cirkel with the child on a storch back, like the Backhaus SA dagger Logo)
Its a gift done in 1911, engraved on the backside of the pommel.
This dagger is in pristine mint condition, having 100% of its original crossgrain.
The fittings are made of nickelsilver, well i'll let the pics do the talking.
Regards
Ger

If you compare this one one with the very similar Eickhorn Bowie its hard to tell who copied who

A manly blade, pristine and nicely presented.
