A rare and excellent quality bow drill.

Unusually with a lignum vitae stock.

Faintly marked 'IXON' (DIXON ?) on the brass ferrule.

Knurled decoration to the removeable collar and cap.

Smaller than most bow drills at only 5 inches excluding the steel chuck.

Two hairline cracks at the top of the lignum stock, please see close-up images.

Some minor surface knocks and scratches.

All parts move freely and tighten securely.

Please view the images to appreciate this fine example.
