HENRY HUBER, PHILADELPHIA BOWIE KNIFE.

A bit of history about the knife "Henry Huber was a well known Philadelphia knife maker who, along with his brother, worked in Philadelphia in 1830's and after and was thought to have made a knife for Jim Bowie himself. This specimen has a crown stag grip, which Huber is known for. The tooled leather scabbard is German silver mounted and matches the German silver crossguard."
Not a knife collector, but a collector knows the value of this interesting knife. The winner left $15,000 and walk off with the knife at E-bay auction. There were 5 bids.
