LARGE Antique CIVIL WAR Era CONFEDERATE Shell-Guard BOWIE Knife LEFT HANDED
Used by CONFEDERATE TROOPS w/UPSWEPT QUILLIAN
Here we present an antique Civil War Era Shell-Guard Left Handed 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. The blade consists of a dark mottled patina. Solid hand guard and grip. A thin stable crack is present at the bottom of the grip at the pommel.
