FC Posted December 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 I wish there was more information on those. The milsurps are nice. I’m especially interested in that expensive bBowie knife, but it’ll likely go too high. My last assignment was Ft. Benning, Columbus, GA, where it was made. Speaking of whivh, there’s a huge awesome Confederate riverboat in a museum there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I can’t believe how cheap I bought Confederate D-ring knife, a Columbus, GA Bowie, and an even older knife for! I bought several Damascus steel knives too, for an investment. People must really be hurting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 D-handle, supposedly from Macon. Same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Derringer. Apparently modern manufacture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 This seems to look a bit too clean, but maybe it’s the Real McCoy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Those are interesting. Looks like that Bowie with the handguard sold in May at a different auction: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/stamped-1862-ej-johnson-and-company-bowie-knife-381-c-1884d3c9d8# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 That’s the same auction house. I wonder if it was a non-payer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I just got an email from an expert that the Haiman knife is counterfeit! I’ll have to talk to the auction house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Seeing the knives in person it was apparent they weren’t old. I was released from having to buy the “old” ones. All were fake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
