RM1499 Civil War Confederate D-Guard Bowie Knife. An impressive knife made from a worn-out file with a long single-edge blade with clipped point. The D-guard is made of heavy wrought iron with a turned down quillon. The metal has a nice patina, and the remnants of the wooden grip have toned nicely with age. Though crude in construction, the knife is still a well-made example of this highly collectible style of Confederate edged weapon. Measurements: 15 3/4" long x 3 1/4" wide at handle area
