Description
Rather Unusual, Very Well Made, Brass Hilted Civil War Confederate D-Guard Bowie Knife. 17" overall with 12¼" blade. The blade is 1 5/8" wide at the base and 3/16" thick with the back of the blade slightly rounded. The blade utilizes a 3¼" clipped point and is excellent, smooth and dark with just one small patch of very light pitting near the tip. The very heavy, rounded, all brass D-guard is tapered and turned down at the quillon. The blade tang passed through the end of the guard and is peened over. One piece wood grip slightly ovoid in cross section with heavy 5/8" brass ferrule at the base. A nice Confederate knife clearly meant for fighting and not just show.Auction Info
