CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE.

CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE. 11 ¾” clipped-point blade. Iron “shaped” D-Gard has unusual construction in that knuckle bow does not terminate into pommel, but continues to form a backstrap attached with eight nails that are about equally spaced. The handle is formed from two slabs in somewhat of a pistol grip patched by four iron pins terminating in a ½” iron ferrule. Knife overall is 19 ¾”. The odd design and fine craftsmanship is reminiscent of a couple knives we know of made in North Carolina during the Civil War. CONDITION: Blade is dark with old sharpening, pitting, and a scale surface. Backstrap is missing three nails. Hilt and ferrule are dark exhibiting pitting and old scale. Wood grips have several large cracks, but are intact and are partially varnish covered. 4-30378 JS14 (3,000-4,000)
