Vietnam Western Special Forces Bowie----Only 100 made in 1965 and sent to the Special Forces at Fort Bragg. The blade is 9 1/8" long and marked "Bowie" on one side and "Western / Boulder,Colo. U.S.A." on the other. On the Bowie marked side is the Special Forces crest. The blade has a blueish stained appearance with some scratches and light sharpening at the cutting edge. I'm guessing the owner tried to blue the blade and it also got wet. I'm betting this knife went to Vietnam with its owner. It comes with the original sheath that is in very nice condition. Ref: Cole III pg 168----Super Rare----$ 750.00

I bought his from John Gibson who has Militaryknives.com Thought you guys might like to know the real truth .......
