The knife shows old harness leather gaskets in between the iron and wood. The sheath shows a parfleche rawhide construction which has been covered in Indian tanned supple hide being sinew sewn and adorned across the entire front with a geometric pattern of glass trade seed beads having a greasy blue background and patterns in greasy yellow, cobalt, chalk white and greasy Cheyenne pink. The top of the sheath shows a braided Indian tanned hide belt strap and the outer edge shows fringe with a red ocher dye with large wound glass pony sky padre trade beads. The sheath has a brain smoked finish. The knife has an early age with the sheath being in nearly perfect condition alluding to a professionally restored contemporary finish. Please inspect the pictures of the sheath for your own opinion of age. Knife shows solid condition with a nice authentic patina. The sheath shows perfect condition with little to no bead loss.
