Late 18th C. American Steel Knife - Owned by Blue Duck

Item Details

Description

North America, United States, Oklahoma, ca. early 1870s to 1884 CE. A forged-steel knife purportedly once owned by a famous Oklahoma outlaw named Bluford "Blue" Duck. The knife has a tapered, single-edged blade with a narrow point on the end, petite quillons that comprise the T-shaped hand guard, and a pair of wooden panels set into the recessed handle cavities. Blue Duck, born in the Cherokee nation as Sha-con-gah, began riding with various gangs across the Oklahoma frontier in the early 1870s and committed crimes such as armed robberies and cattle rustling. Mr. Duck and William Christie shot a farmer and the horse of a Cherokee boy on June 23, 1884, and he was sentenced to life in prison at Menard Penitentiary in Chester, Illinois. Blue Duck is most famous for a photograph he took with well-known female outlaw Belle Starr in 1886. Size: 10.2" L x 2.375" W (25.9 cm x 6 cm)

Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection; ex-Steve Cox collection, Van Buren, Arkansas, USA, acquired in 2017
