Description:
Extremely rare in an absolute sense, a Northern Plains Indian, Beaver Tail Skin, knife sheath with original Sheffield Bowie knife.  Both of the same period late 1840s-1850s.  Sheath with fringed brain tanned leather liner with beaver tail hide overlay and sewn with sinew.  Appears to be an original pair with the sheath being made for this exact knife.  Most likely made by a woodlands tribe either Crow or Blackfoot.  Indians aquired these knives by personal trade, theft, battle, and when they did they purposely removed the guards to be comfortable in a variety of grips, and to fit their tube style sheaths.  Knife with horn grips and an elongated shield escutcheon on one side.
