Scarce Antique Civil War Confederate MARKS & REES CINN D-Guard Bowie Knife

17-1/4” , Solid…

This D-Guard was made by MARKS & REES CINCINNATI for the South during the 1930’s possibly 1940’s. MARKS & REES CINN were the first on record to advertise their Bowie knives for sale October 21, 1835 in the Daily Gazette. MARKS & REES CINN made many different surgical instruments including Bowie knives hand made. I acquired this very rare Bowie knife from a family selling all their ancestors including immediate family who had passed away and had no interest in a highly scares early 1800’s to mid 1800’s Civil War Confederate Bowie Knives. I purchased an amazing collection, but did miss out on the complete collection. This marked D-Guard MARKS & REES CINN was amongst part of a collection I received. I keep a nice coat of natural oil to preserve this rare Bowie knife. There is a nice original patina on this D-Guard Bowie knife “untouched”. - My quality photos speak for the well preserved condition this Bowie knife is in, including its been in a nonsmoking humidity controlled environment for many years. There is no pitting on the blade. The natural oil shine gives off a beautiful preserved look. Again, please review my high resolution photos showing the amazing condition of this highly rare D-Guard Bowie knife. Do your homework and please do not ask for any discounted price; this knife is worth thousands more than my asking price. I ship UPS only due to their reliable shipping service with signature required.
