- Lot Description
Western Europe, Spain, pre-World War I, ca. 1907 to 1910 CE. A nice example of a bolo knife with a steel blade bearing a gentle indentation along the top half, a deep fuller, a thick spine, and a pointed tip. The wooden handle is incised with crosshatched patterning to increase the wielder's grip, and a prong latch on one side allows the blade to stay put within the leather and iron sheath. A maker's mark on one side of the blade shoulder reads, "ARTILLERIA | FABRICA DE TOLEDO," a serial number on the reverse shoulder reads, "33715," and a "U" is stamped on one side of the midsection of the guard. Size (w/ sheath): 4.1" W x 17.875" H (10.4 cm x 45.4 cm); (blade): 11.75" L x 1.5" W (29.8 cm x 3.8 cm)
Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010

PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent increases of shipments being seized by Australian & German customs (even for items with pre-UNESCO provenance), we will no longer ship most antiquities and ancient Chinese art to Australia & Germany. For categories of items that are acceptable to ship to Australia or Germany, please contact us directly or work with your local customs brokerage firm.
Display stands not described as included/custom in the item description are for photography purposes only and will not be included with the item upon shipping.
#169558Small chips to wooden handle, with oxidation and light pitting to blade, and softening to maker's mark and serial number, otherwise intact and very good. Great patina throughout, and blade edge is still sharp. Please note: prong latch does not articulate anymore, so inserting blade into sheath may cause it to stick; however, it can be removed by inserting a slender, sturdy object between the guard and sheath top and pushing against the latch.Condition
