Just aquired a spearpoint Bowie.

16 in.LOA.
5.75 in. stag crown grip, one brass pin. Looks old & has wear.
2 in. wide razor sharp blade just ahead of the set back ricasso. 3.5 in. wide oval guard.
Spine has a 4 in. unsharpened false edge.
.25 in. thick at the ricasso, distal tapering down to about .125 in. near the tip.
weight: 1.19 lb.
No markings.


I'll let y'all convert that to metric if you want.


Any idea on its origin and/or age wold be appreciated. Thanks.
