    Description

    This auction is for a very rare original 1862 antique Civil War Confederate Navy Ship Officer's fighting dagger, marked on the brass blade guard: CSS - ALABAMA - and marked on the blade: DFA - Richard (Dick) F. Armstrong was a Second Lieutenant among the 145 men and officer's aboard the Confederate States Navy War Ship during its 2 years of existence. The USS Alabama was built in England and probably this knife was also. This Dirk fighting dagger is top quality with a tight black coated jigged wooden handle, brass blade guard and fancy coin silver pommel and pre-blade guard enhancements, and a double edge encapsulated full tang carbon steel spear point blade. The knife has some minor scratches and little blemishes on the blade and is not very sharp, the handle has a small tight hairline in the wood, overall it is still in near excellent condition for 160 years old. Please zoom in on all pictures for details. This knife measures 13 3/4" with a 7 7/8"blade and it weighs 10.8 oz.
