CONFEDERATE TREDEGAR BAYONET SCABBARD AND FROG.

CONFEDERATE TREDEGAR BAYONET SCABBARD AND FROG. This very rare Confederate scabbard for a Tredegar socket bayonet is all hand-stitched with a lead finial tied to bottom of scabbard. These lead scabbard tips are very commonly found on battlefields, especially in the Army of Northern Virginia sites. We would imagine there are no more than a handful of these scabbards known. We can think of only 6 or 7 in collections and institutions. These scabbards are among the rarest of Confederate-associated accouterments. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “This very rare Confederate scabbard for a socket bayonet is all hand stitched with a lead finial sewn to the tip as an endpiece. While the leather body is flaking in places and the belt loop is fragile, it is in overall sound condition and, considering the great rarity of this particular accoutrement, it is in very good condition.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Scabbard body is sound with much of its orig black surface remaining. Frog is fragile but intact with several tears. 4-31427 JS40 (1,000-2,000)
