MASSIVE CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE.

MASSIVE CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE. This knife, 20-1/2″ overall exhibits 15-1/2″ clip point Bowie blade, well crafted from a file. This is a nice example of a classic blacksmith made Bowie knife made early in the war. Identified knives like this are found in every Confederate state. Many photographs of young Confederates early in the war show similar huge Bowies. I am sure many of these young Confederates dreamed of a confrontation with a Yankee with his big knife. Accompanying leather scabbard is stitched along the cutting edge. Written on the scabbard appears to be “A A HAUN”. The only AA Haun listed in Confederate rosters is Private Anzi Alexander Haun, Company K, 35th North Carolina Infantry. Even without the history this is a classic Confederate D-Guard Bowie which is well balanced and well patinaed and presents nicely. CONDITION: Knife overall is very good. Blade is gray/bright with scattered areas of rust and pitting. D-Guard is dark with areas of rust and pitting. Wood handle has several cracks, but is well patinaed. Accompanying scabbard fits knife adequately, but tip is about 2″ longer than blade. 4-37807 JS19 (5,000-7,000)
