Civil War rifleman's knife with scabbard. Civil War Rifleman's Side Knife with Scabbard.  This is a beautifully made knife with a fruit wood handle and brass cross guard. The odd shaped brass pommel was made to allow the barrel of a rifle to rest on it when the knife was stuck into the ground or a piece of wood.  Similar knives of this pattern are known, but the maker of this one is not.  The blade is so well made with a raised central ridge, that the knife maker could have been surgical tool maker.  This knife is similar to knives thought to be a product of Rees Fitzpatrick of Natchez, Miss. or C. Heinz of Columbia, SC.  SOLD
