GUN FALL 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
VERY RARE "CONFEDERATE STATES ARMORY" CLIP POINT D-GUARD BOWIE.20" overall, 15" clip point blade. Louis Froelich at his Confederate States Armory in Kenansville, NC made many edged weapons. This is the rarest of his products being a clip point D-Guard Bowie. Few examples of these knives are known and this is a fine honest "as found" example. When photographing knives for Confederate Bowie Knives, 2012, I was only able to identify 6 or 7 examples at the time, where hundreds of the standard "cutlass style" knives are known. SIZE: CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is overall grey with small nicks in blade, staining and pitting. Iron D-Guard has matching patina. 1-pc wood grip is missing one entire side inside bow which exposes the entire construction of tang. This wood has been missing for a very long time, as exposed wood has good patina. Remainder of grip has hand worn patina with many small dents and dings. 52041-2 JS (3,500-5,000)
