A very large example of a Southern Civil War Era Clip Point Bowie knife as typically used by Confederate Forces. Blade measures 13.5" and an overall knife length of 18".
Condition overall is good, showing use and age, including extensive pitting and rust on the blade. Stag handle has a very old age crack along the grain in it, but since it's only a surface crack it does not penetrate deeply, and the handle is fully intact and sturdy. No marks were found on this knife.
Quillion is brass, and has some play, as does the handle in general. Handle is secured by old rivet, correct for the period. Guaranteed original, with 14 day inspection period.
