Description

 This was purchased from a man I know who kept it in a safety deposit box. I have done online research and it suggest that the handle is made out of ox horn and the manufacturer started making these in or around 1820. I have no idea when this was made. I would like to know when this was made. Why it was made and how much it is worth.

It was made between 1850 and 1890 probably around 1870 + or -. the scales are horn and dont have much value as they are cracked and chipped. Refurbished you're looking @ 100$ + or - depending on how well it polishes out and the value of the new scales it needs. As is... around 30$
