Description: Bowie-Messer. Ein amerikanischer Mythos. Hardcover – March 1, 2003German Edition by Matthias Recktenwald COLLECTIBLE! Im Wilden Westen nannte man jedes große Kampfmesser schlicht "Bowie". Mythen und Legenden ranken sich um diese Messerart und ihre Geschichte. Ihr Namensgeber, James Bowie, war eine schillernde Abenteurer-Figur und sein Tod in der berühmten Schlacht um den Alamo 1836 machte ihn zur Legende und verhalf dem "Bowie"-Messer zu seinem Siegeszug. Dieses Werk - das erste in deutscher Sprache - beleuchtet alle Gesichtspunkte des Nimbus Bowie. Es untersucht die Mythen um James Bowie, erläutert, wie das Original-Bowie entstand - und warum es so ganz anders aussieht als das, was man heute für typisch hält. Sammler, Messer- und Westernfreunde erhalten Eckdaten und Informationen zu Herstellern und Materialien, Formen und Stempelungen, zu Scheiden und Etuis, zu Pflege und Umgang mit Bowie-Messern. Es ist geschmückt mit Anekdoten, untermauert mit zahlreichen, bisher unveröffentlichten, Fakten und versehen mit rund zahlreichen, meist farbigen, Abbildungen.
