SOLD!!!
Fresh to the market straight out of South Georgia.........Confederate Side Knife with its original tin scabbard. 15" Overall Length with a 10 3/4" double edged, spear point blade that will still cut you! Excellent craftsmanship is evident throughout this fighting knife.......No such thing as a double edged utility knife!!! The blade is symmetrical and the median ridge is straight as an arrow. The maker even took the time to solder the guard in place so no wiggle at all. The tang appeared to have been peened through a washer but it is long gone. The grip is still tight with 2 age cracks.The tin scabbard is unique as it never had a belt loop. It does have a large, flaired top that would have held the scabbard and prevented it from sliding under a belt. Has some slight separation on one seam but overall very stable.
SOLD!!!
Confederate 1840 Cavalry Saber made by William Glaze, Columbia SC. Very nice example of an original Palmetto Cav Saber.

I will have this with me at the Dalton, Georgia show the weekend of Jan 30th.

Minimal cracking & crazing on the scabbard. The button on the end of the scabbard tip is MIA. You'll look a long time to find another this nice!!!
