I am brand new to this site, a novice collector, spending time and money on items of interest. I have been looking at Confederate D handle bowies for quite a while (with great interest). I recently purchased what I would think might be an authentic period piece. If I can figure how to upload photos, I will include them. I'd be interested to learn, from anyone nice enough to reply, their opinions on this Bowie. Best clue would be the Hallmark on the blade "W & Co". I have not been able to find the origin. Brief descrition, 20 1/2" end to end, Blade 15 7/16", clipped point, 5/16" thick blade/top at hilt. D handle, solid Brass. Have not been able to find another similar in appearance and spec.. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. BILL
