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.
