Reference Number: Avaluer:27316145Tribal Affiliation: Sioux
Original Description:
Very rare and very beautiful, ca1880's Native American Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Buffalo Hide Knife Sheath and original Hand Forged Trade Knife. This outstanding 19th century Sioux Beaded Sheath measures approx. 8 1/2" long (not including the beaded drop) and 2" at its widest. The Knife is of the same period and measures approx 9 1/4" long overall with an 6 1/2" long, hand forged blade and wood handle.
    This wonderful Sioux Indian Sheath is sinew sewn by han...d with beadwork decoration executed using red white heart, dark green and chalk white colored beads on the front surface. The back side of the Sheath features a three band motif using colors of red white heart and dark green. There is a short, beaded drop at the bottom of the Sheath.
    The included Trade Knife features a wooden handle retains its original and age appropriate patina. The hand forged, iron blade shows signs of sharpening over the years and a few tiny edge chips but no significant damage or wear. While the Knife is of the same age as the Sheath, it is not original to it as it is not long enough to fit properly in the Sheath.
    The Knife and Beaded Sheath offered here are unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. It is NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Sioux Bead Decorated Knife Sheath and Native American Knife crafted in the mid to late 19th century. The Knife and Sheath come with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. They are guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
    This very rare and wonderful, ca1880's Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Sheath is in very good condition. All of the buffalo hide elements are well preserved, sound and strong with short separation to the seam of the front and back panels and evidence of some minor, very old repairs. The beadwork is beautiful, lazy stitched and well preserved with some minor loss as can be seen in the scans below. There is a delicate border of tiny red white heart seed beads that also exhibits some loss as can be seen in the scans below. The Knife is also in very good condition - showing age appropriate wear from extended use but with no significant damage.
    A very rare and wonderful, ca1880's Native American Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Knife Sheath and 19th century Trade Knife and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
