Now that's a knife!
It looks like it is just dying to whack some wrong-doer on a sand bar. Moore sheath, I agree about 1954, maybe early '55. Mr. Randall made a surprising number of Bowies in that first year after the movie was released.
Not much has been written about Bowies in the literature or on-line, except in the "dating..." line on this site. Hunt's book has the best collection of photos and commentary. That is a mean looking knife for the serious minded... I like it.
