Very nice and appears to be all original Civil War period example of the classical Confederate D-Guard fighting bowie knife often made by local blacksmith and given to the family or neighbor's members enlisted in the Confederate army to be used as a serious and most efficient hand combat weapon during the bloody brotherly battles of that terrible war. Everything on this example screams of its substantial age and authenticity, hand forged by blacksmith in the hurry, never polished now showing heavy extensive pitting light surface rust and black patina throughout the powerful clip point blade, iron D-guard and ferrule, the wooden grips fixed by two large iron rivets also exhibit great age and remaining solid and intact with few age hairlines to the wooden tissue. Overall intact and solid on this impressive Confederate weapon. Still has the price tag which i bought it with and although i paid slightly less i feel it was greatly underpriced for the nice authentic example that it is.
