Confederate side knife in relic condition.  Probably blacksmith made. The iron exhibits old pitting and some minor surface rust.

Measuring more than 16” overall, this knife has a blade that is 11 1/2” long and 1 3/4” wide at the hilt.  The blade has a worn tip and several chips along blade edge.  The iron cross guard is 4” long.  It originally had a quillion on either end of the guard but one has broken off.

The tang extends from the blade an additional 4 1/2”.  It passes through the guard and the end is peened over a washer that once held a wood handle.

A great example of a CS side knife!   [jet]
