CONFEDERATE BOWIE BAYONET

CONFEDERATE BOWIE BAYONET. This is maybe the finest example ever to be offered on this famous pattern knife. Other examples are published in most every knife book written. These knives were once thought to be made by Potts of New Orleans or Rees Fitzpatrick of Natchez. Regardless of the maker, they are made by a skilled craftsman. The knife exhibits rosewood grip with orig polish. The blade is bright and as-made. The scabbard is the best one we have ever seen still retaining its orig belt loop as seen in photos here. SIZE: 17-1/4″ overall. Blade is 12-3/8″. CONDITION: Blade is bright with scattered stains. Brass guard and scabbard mounts are very good with good patina and orig tool marks and scattered scratches. Scabbard mounts are still well-seated. 4-37265 JS252 (4,000-6,000)
