Lot 467:
A Colt CT1 USA Vintage Bowie Knife with Checkered Wood Handle and Leather Sheath
Description
This lot features a Colt CT1 USA Vintage Bowie Knife, accompanied by its original brown leather sheath. The fixed-blade knife features a stainless steel blade prominently marked with the “COLT®” logo on one side, and “CT1” and “STAINLESS STEEL” on the reverse. The dark wooden handle, likely dymondwood, has a distinctive checkered pattern and a central metal medallion depicting Colt’s iconic rearing horse logo. The handle is further marked “MADE IN U.S.A.” vertically near the guard. The custom-fitted brown leather sheath complements the knife, bearing the “COLT®” logo, an embossed rearing horse, and “MADE IN U.S.A.” Web intelligence suggests this CT1 model was produced in the late 1980s to early 1990s, with some sources indicating United Cutlery as the manufacturer for Colt during this period.
Condition report:
The knife and sheath are in very good overall condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with age. The stainless steel blade retains its finish with minor surface marks. The dark wooden handle is well-preserved. The metal guard exhibits some tarnishing and minor greenish residue, which is the primary visible imperfection. The original brown leather sheath is intact and shows light use.
