The lot features a dag fighting knife that is stamped "101 RANCH". The knife has a nearly identical shape as the Early Plains Dag Knife 19th Century example from the Forrest Fenn collection sold by Hindman / Cowans in 2022 for $3,750. Our example is stamped 101 Ranch as well as hand written on the handle in pen or pencil "Bill Pickett 1914 Exposition". Bill Picket (1870-1932) was a famous Black Cowboy who performed with 101 Ranch Wild West Show that was known to feature Buffalo Bill, Will Rogets, Tom Mix and more. He performed under the name “The Dusky Demon”. The dag knife shows solid wood two piece handle with iron dag knife blade having a raised median running down both sides and a dark coloring. The handle has copper and metal studding in an artistic design. The age and originality of the knife is unknown, please examine. Measures overall 12.25”L by 1 1/8”W.
