military motif with cannons. The leather scabbard is completely original and
flawless. There is not one weak spot anywhere which is almost
unheard of today.....If you demand the finest Horstmann Line Officer's
Sword available and one that you'll probably never have the need or
opportunity to upgrade....It's here.....$2,250.00
 
This Schneider & Glassick is one of the rarest Confederate edged
weapons to come down the pike in years. It's one of only two
know examples of a Bowie/Dirk Dress Dagger clearly marked Schneider &
Glassick.
The knife has a double edged spear point blade with a German
silver & ivory handle and a German silver guard. It has a single
die, one line line stamp on the guard as the other known has. The
ivory handle has a script letter "g" inscribed on it.
Research indicates that the only time the firm Schneider &
Glassick advertised cutlery, hunting knives, etc. was from February
1861, thru March 1861. The firm shut down in March of
1862.....Very Rare......$3,850.00

designed solely to kill an opponent.....the turned oak grip handle is solid with no cracks or chips and
rests on an iron ferrule and iron cross guard......it's a lethal knife in excellent condition and could have
been carried in the boot by a soldier from either side....a great display piece....$295.00
