Here is a great Confederate artifact! This is an original Confederate made D-Guard Bowie Knife. This is the pattern that is similar to those illustrated and described on page 99 of the Bowie Knife book by Melton, Phillips and Sexton. This massive knife is the classic pattern you associate with Confederate side weapons. They state in the book they correspond to the Type II standards called for by Georgia's Governor Joe Brown. This one measures 22-1/2 inches in overall length with the blade making up 17-1/2 inches. The blade has the wonderful hand forged craftsmanship with the clip point end. It has the excellent original wrought iron hand guard with the distinctive quillion. The handle of the knife is a single piece of smooth wood. The handle is still nice and tight in place. As you can see this one looks beautiful from all angles.
