Early Loveless Original "Delaware Maid" Knife, R. W. Loveless Knife

Description: Bob Loveless Original "Delaware Maid" I believe this knife was purchased by my father when he would go surf fishing for stripers down on the delaware river in the late 50s or early 1960s. It was his hunting knife and all of us sons used it through the years.I had no idea as to who made it until recently doing research on other knives, then when I saw a similar, I thought..."Wow that looks like Dad's old hunting knife...had no idea, thank you Dad. I contacted John Denton a friend of Bob Loveless & owner of boblovelessknives.com to confirm, and he was kind enough to do just that. John, stated that these early knives had very light mark and "Delaware Maid" has long worn off. It has a straight spined flat ground blade. Slanted brass quard. Stacked leather washer handle, with 4 finger grooves, black, cream (probably white originally), and red fiber spacers on both sides, bird's head shaped aluminum alloy pommel. Original molded, folded, and sewn riveted leather sheath with belt loop, it is marked what looks like "H" on the back & the knife has a "K" on the side of the leather handle. I do not know why they are there. You can see similar early Delaware Maid knives on pages 12-13 in "Living on the Edge-Logos of the Loveless Legend" by Weyer & Williams. CONDITION: The knife is solid & in very good used condition. Handle shows appropriate wear and handling marks from use, but no cracks. Sheath is complete with tight stitching and retains its molded shape.Sheath Blade Length: 3 - 7/8" Overall Length: 8 - 7/8"
