Lamson & Goodnow Stag Circa 1837 1940 Pre-war Super Rare Big Knife & Sheath

THIS IS A VERY RARE HUNTNG OR FIGHTING KNIFE, IT WAS MADE BETWEEN 1837 AND THE 1940's. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING KABAR AND UNION CUT CO, AND ENGLISH BOWIES FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND THIS ONE IS A VERY RARE ONE IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THE AGE OR ANY AGE! THE KNIFE WAS MADE PROBABLY IN THE 1930's or 1940's, BUT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 1837 AND STILL IS. A LITTLE HISTORY: LAMSON & GOODNOW IS THE OLDEST CUTLERY MANUFACTORER IN THE UNITED STATES NOW AND STARTED IN 1837 AND IS STILL IN BUSINESS TODAY 175 YEARS LATER IN THE SAME BULDING LOCATED IN SHELBOURNE FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS U. LAMSON & GOODNOW HIRED EXPERIENCED CUTLERS FROM BOTH SOLINGEN GERMANY AND SHEFFIELD ENGLAND FOR THIER CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE FIT AND FINISH OF CUTLERY. DURING THE CIVIL WAR (1861). THE COMPANY BECAME ONE OF THE LARGEST UNITED STATES CUTLERY MANUFACTORYS, EMPLOYING MORE THAN 500 WOKERS TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR THIER PRODUCTS IN 1869, THE WORKMEN OF LAMSON & GOODNOW PRODUCED A SET OF CUTLERY FOR PRESIDENT ULYSSES S. GRANT, HALF THE PIECES WERE SET IN PEARL HANDLES AND THE OTHER HALF IN IVORY HANDLES AND A LOT OF FOLKS DO NOT REALIZE THAT STAINLESS STEEL HAS BEEN AROUND EVER SINCE THE 1800's.

DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A VERY NICE AND SOLID EARLY EXAMPLE OF A HIGH QUALITY AND BEAUTIFUL EARLY MADE KNIFE THAT WAS MADE RIGHT HERE IN THE U. THE KNIFE MEASURES 9-1/2" OVERALL LENGTH WIT A 5" CLIP BLADE WITH A 3 FALSE EDGE ON THE TOP SPINE. THE BLADE DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES WAS BUFFED BUT IS STILL FULL AND IS RAZOR SHARP. IT HAS A STAMP IN THE CENTER OF THE BLADE THAT READS LAMSON & GOODNOW STAINPROOF IN A CIRCLE WITH THEIR.

THE HANDLE IS BEAUTIFUL GENUINE SOLID MATCHING STAG WITH LOTS OF CHARATER AND NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS TIGHT AND RIGHT! IT HAS A RECESSED METAL BAND ON THE FRONT AND A RECESSED LANYARD RING IN THE REAR WITH A LANYARD CORD (SEE PICTURES). IT COMES WITH A NICE LEATHER SHEATH (NOT THE ORIGINAL).

THE SHEATH IS LIKE NEW, ALL THE STITCHING IS GOOD AND ALL THE 5 RIVETS AND HANDLE SNAP ARE ALSO GOOD. THIS ONE IS A VERY RARE HARD FIND AND DOES NOT COME AROUND VERY OFTEN.

IT WOULD BE A VERY NICE COLLECTIBLE FOR ANY VINTAGE AMERICAN MADE KNIFE COLLECTOR. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
