A family heirloom: a late 1920’s Wade & Butcher ‘Boone’ Bowie Hunting Knife and sheath. Date on sheath 1932, 24cm, and sells for at least £450. For us? Priceless.

On By The Fugitive Stag

It was my father’s scout knife, which we think he may have been passed on by an older relative. He wrote on it: “IORWERTH (?) ROBERTS, WOLF PATROL 1ST GLANOGWEN 1932” (Bethesda, NW Wales)

    Hi,
    Where did you find the pricing for the knife? I have the exact same knife I inherited from a neighbour as a kid, and then also used for scouts 🙂
