      Thank you Dave. Yes, i've had it authenticated and it is a legit William Scagel. Now i'm trying to find out what it's worth. The collector that looked at it offered me $2000 but another wanted me to consign it with them and thought I could get $4500...Thats a big difference so I will keep looking and hopefully someone will know a fair value.

      Update on the knife: We contacted Bernard Levine and he ALOS has confirmed that the knife is infact in real William Scagel from the 1920's and is issuing a Certificate of Authenticity. So glad I didn't take the original offer on the knife..turns out its worth far more than I thought!
