Civil War Period Folding Dirk by R. Bunting & Son
$550.00
Approximately 8-3/4 inches in overall length with the blade extended. The blade shows gray areas but it is without chips or nicks. The ricasso bears the Bunting & Son name. The wood grip plates exhibit age but they are intact. The blade is returned into the grip by depression of a latch mechanism that releases the blade from its locked position and allows it to be folded back into the grip. The metal components of the guard and the pommel exhibit an uncleaned patina.
