ID'ed GEORGIA SIDE KNIFE
"J.M. Bowles Washington Co. Ga." hand-carved in the dark brown leather scabbard, by the Georgia soldier. How could it get any better? Well, on the reverse is an old paper label that says, "taken from the body of confederate soldier Kennesaw Mt. Ga. This superb scabbard is original to the knife, and the patina is fabulous. It is hand stitched and neatly decorated with cross-hatching on one side. The top extension is slotted on both sides with the original leather strap for securing the knife. Now for the hand made bowie or side knife! It is 14" O.A. with a 9" x 1 ¼" upswept, clip pt. Blade. It shows forging imperfections and hairline crack that you want to see in a Southern- made bowie knife. The handle is 1- pc. burl, possible maple, with carved, knob-like pommel. It is held on with two iron pins, with four silver, diamond-shaped escutcheons - a nice Southern touch. The ferrule is also silver. A great and rare ID'ed confederate piece. PRICE: $5250.00 |
