A Southern plains knife & Sheath
« on: August 15, 2009, 02:56:54 AM »
This one is a late 1840's-early 1850's Southern Plains style skinner/scalper and sheath which has a pound beaded brain tan cover over a rawhide liner with twisted fringe, tin cones, and buffalo hair with feather fluff dangles - it was inspired by three original sheaths and a couple original SW trade skinner/scalpers.
Stylistically the sheath and knife would be "period appropriate" into the 1870's.

Absolutely superb!

But then, that's expected from Wild Rose Trading Company...

Thanks for posting - and for illustrating how knives and their sheaths 'actually' looked during the era.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!
