CONFEDERATE BOWIE BAYONET.

CONFEDERATE BOWIE BAYONET. Clip-point blade is 12” with rosewood grips with 2 crudely cut holes that could potentially have fit on a stick. I doubt these could have gone on a gun. Norm Flayderman pictures these in his book on American Bowie knives on p. 215. There is new, credible evidence that these knives may have been made by Rees Fitzpatrick of Nachez, Miss. Rees Fitzpatrick, prior to the war, made fine rifles. It is known he did deliver knives to the Confederacy. Accompanied by correct leather scabbard with brass mounts with riveted and sewn belt loop. CONDITION: Blade is gray/bright with scattered areas of staining and pitting. Rosewood grips exhibit most of its orig varnish with scattered dings, dents, and scratches. Brass scabbard throat and knife mounts are well patinated with scattered scratches. Brass drag appears replaced. Leather scabbard body is solid. Retains about 50% of its orig black surface. Throat is missing 1 of four pins. Stitching is missing from base of belt loop, otherwise it is intact. 8-76219 JS218 (4,000-6,000)
