Most if not all of these knives have been published in a guide on Collecting Confederate Bowie Knives.This offering is for one of the most infamous reproduction D-Guard Bowies.I have seen this knife (artificially aged and altered) bring thousands of dollars.It breaks my heart when I see a beaming novice collector bouncing down the aisle at a show with one of these knives because I know that in a few minutes I am going to have to poop in his frosted flakes. As repro's go, this knife is fairly attractive.It reminds me of a Kenansville D-Guard I have in my collection.
