Get on a Randall collecting forum. I believe you have a non-catalogued knife, and possibly a one of a kind.
Could it be a Raymond Thorpe Bowie? I know those Randall knives are pretty long.
An interesting Randall tidbit. I have a knife on order. It will be delivered right at the 6 year mark.

Good looking Randall! We used to have four here, but as we both age three have been passed on to our Niece and Nephews, passing them down and keeping in the family, another generation to use, love and enjoy as should happen.

Did you get a marked sheath also?
Talked with Jason Randall today . The knife is a smithsonian bowie with a brass spine , scalloped brass collar and butt cap and an ivory handle .
What makes it unique is the 14" blade (2" longer than normal) and the recessed tang nut . Built in 65 or 66 it is one of only 3 that has the longer than normal blade .
Now i just got to find a buyer , I'm not a knife guy (but this was too cool to not buy)
Thanks , Steve

Some states and probably ebay have banned all ivory just because that's the easy out. I have a lot of carved Walrus and some Mastodon ivory that my parents collected while stationed in Alaska in WWII - legal to own but not old enough to sell. I think there was a 1970s date when all ivory importation became illegal (doesn't effect Alaskan items).
Under federal law, new ivory cannot be imported, exported or sold across state lines. Antique ivory can be sold with proper documentation proving that the item is an antique that is at least 100 years old.
Thanks for posting the pictures. That knife is just so cool. Good luck selling it. I bet an auction house would be the way to go with that, just to get more exposure to potential buyers.

Where did you order this Randall from?
“That’s a knife.”
Direct from Randall. They are very pleasant to order from and speak with.
In fact, I have three knives on order. One is a graduation present for my daughter. I don't need it yet, so I called them and switched the production order of the three. Making the knife for my daughter's graduation arrive closer to the date of her finishing school.
As I said, they were easy to deal with and make this arrangement.

Best way is to plan ahead and order early for major events. I ordered 1 for each of my kids for their high school graduation present.
$50 deposit locks in the price when you order. Usually the price goes up $20 each year. So in six years you get $100+ discount on the knife.
My sons graduation present.
@pulaski that knife in the OP is really special. Wow!

What do you want for this knife?
Sort of sad it will never fulfill its intended purpose.
That is one of the things I have always been proud of. Every Randall that has been in this house and three have been passed down to Niece and Nephews have been used as knives. Pretty tools but a tool and to be used and enjoyed while using them. The same here goes for firearms. Nothing ultra rare or irreplaceable so no safe queens and all get fired.
Oh well, I was interested in acquiring that knife. I hope in went to a good home!

I have two Randall’s that have never even sliced a piece of paper with and I have numerous working knives that get used and reused and resharpened pretty often. I purchased the Randall’s for their beauty and collectibility.
Kind of the same way many purchase firearms, some for collectin, some for shootin.

I went with a model 8 with stag and a brass buttcap for my first born and a model 26 in stag for the youngest. I had their names engraved on the blades, so I’m sure the collectibility is ruined, but I hope that they will be well used anyways.
Here’s the first one I got back, the model 8. I haven’t decided what age is going to be the best to give to them. Maybe I’ll let them carry them on camping trips and such when they’re young and gift them permanently when they’re older. Haven’t figured it yet!

I’ve been fortunate to acquire a few Randalls over the years. Sold off 2-3 of them. Kinda wish I had kept the Model 5
