VERY RARE “CONFEDERATE STATES ARMORY” CLIP POINT D-GUARD BOWIE.

20″ overall, 15″ clip point blade. Louis Froelich at his Confederate States Armory in Kenansville, NC made many edged weapons. This is the rarest of his products being a clip point D-Guard Bowie. Few examples of these knives are known and this is a fine honest “as found” example. When photographing knives for Confederate Bowie Knives, 2012, I was only able to identify 6 or 7 examples at the time, where hundreds of the standard “cutlass style” knives are known. CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is overall grey with small nicks in blade, staining and pitting. Iron D-Guard has matching patina. 1-pc wood grip is missing one entire side inside bow which exposes the entire construction of tang. This wood has been missing for a very long time, as exposed wood has good patina. Remainder of grip has hand worn patina with many small dents and dings. 52041-2 JS (3,500-5,000) – Lot 3502

Auction: Firearms - October 2017

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
