Cool Silver Mounted Civil War "Liberty and Union" Folding Dirk Knife
Click on an image to enlarge
What a cool knife! This is a neat original Civil War "Liberty and Union" folding "Dirk" style knife. When the knife is opened up, it measures 10 inches overall with a 4 1/2-inch broad blade with the very tip chipped off long ago. The design is to allow the blade to lock in place when opened and it still locks in place. At the base of the blade, it is marked by the maker but I can't quite make it out. This one is one of the finer quality pieces you can find. The blade has a nice untouched tone and it displays superbly. It is constructed with polished Staghorn grip scales with a rectangular German silver escutcheon on each side. The escutcheon shows the spread wing Union eagle with the stars above and the shield down below. What makes this one really stand out is the German silver crossguard mounts that proudly proclaim the "LIBERTY AND UNION" motto marking in a band on the crossguard quillons. One has a chipped off side but the other is complete. The silver pommel has another version of the Union eagle and shield. This is truly a great example of design of a mid-19th century knife.
