Description
Very RARE 1840s Short Sword with tooled leather scabbard. Bone handle with steel stirrup handle. Side sewn scabbard with tooling. Had 2 ring mounts on scabbard, now missing. Looks like a typical repurposed sword used asa Confederate D Guard Bowie Knife, 24.5 inches overall, 20 inch blade. I am sure many of these swords were used as bowies or cut down and reshaped. You can tell many confederate bowies were reworked earlier swords. Here are some examples of what I mean.
