AUGUSTA ARSENAL Marked Antique CIVIL WAR Era CONFEDERATE Style DGuard Knife
Pattern Used by CONFEDERATE TROOPS
Here we present an antique Augusta Arsenal Marked Civil War Era D-Guard Bowie Knife. The bowie knife was popular from the 1840s to the end of the 19th Century. They were used by United States troops during the Mexican War and on the frontier during the disturbances in Kansas and Missouri in the 1850s. During the Civil War, they were popular with Confederate soldiers who did not have access to proper swords. These could be made just about anywhere by a smith, which were ubiquitous due to their great demand from making tools to shoeing horses. This is a great piece of American history!
The overall condition is good. Dark blade patina. Solid, grips and hand guard. Markings are legible. “AUGUSTA ARSENAL” is marked on the left side of the blade, but appears to be fairly fresh, not matching the age of the knife.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Overall length is 17-1/4 inches.
Blade length is 11-1/2 inches.
