OLD 6" Bone Antler ESKIMO INUIT Indian KNIFE Leather INDUS VALLEY Cross TEMPLAR

Description

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE!  I COMBINE AUCTIONS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS!  Thank you and enjoy browsing my store!
Here is a very cool, and VERY VERY old, handmade knife with matching leather sheath.  This is a small knife, only measuring approx. 5.5" long.  The steel blade is very stiff for the thinness.  Both the knife handle and the sheath have the Cross marking and the 4 dots are on the sheath (looks like Knights Templar cross to me).  There are also small crosses along the sewn side of the sheath.  This looks like it is from the 1800s or older.   The blade is not pitted!  It is discolored, but not pitted.  It is still very sharp.   The 'thread' it was sewn with looks like hair (horse hair maybe??).   Finally there is a leather strap that fits perfectly around you neck to have the knife hanging on your chest.  This came from an estate in the country of Missouri (out in the sticks at a farm estate).  IF SOMEONE HAS MORE INFO ON THIS I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT!!   I'M VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW THE AGE AND WHERE THIS KNIFE CAME FROM.   Please see pics for more details.
IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE PICS, THEN IT IS NOT INCLUDED!!
Please see pics and message me with any questions.
