This is a very nice all original Western W49 Bowie Knife that was manufactured for use in the jungles of Vietnam.  This knife is in very good condition throughout with some light signs of corrosion on the blade.  The blade is chrome which is indicative of manufacture for use in Vietnam.  The wood handle is in very good condition throughout.  The leather scabbard is original and in very good condition throughout. This is a great example of a seldom seen Western W49 Bowie Knife that will be a perfect addition to your military edged weapons collection!
