FINE LARGE CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE WITH TIN SCABBARD.This is a classic Confederate bowie, about 20" long overall with 14-1/2" thick double edged blade in the style of arsenal made knives from Georgia and those from TL Pruitt of Prattville, Alabama. So we can surmise this is a Georgia or Alabama knife accompanied by a well made tin scabbard. SIZE: CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is overall a mottled gray with staining and pitting with old sharpening and nicks in cutting edge. Wood grip has old putty filled crack repairs with an old varnished surface. Iron ferules are slightly loose. Scabbard is sound and solid with original tin belt loop, separating at soldered seam with about a 5" opening on opposite side. All in all, this is a very nice Confederate knife with impressive heft and rarely found complete tin scabbard, with numerous small dents, dings and scratches. 52041-1 JS (3,000-4,000)
