Earlier this week I received an excellent reproduction Confederate d-guard from Dan Brock of Plowshare Forge and wanted to give him some praise! It's based on an original from the William Turner collection that was sold in 2006 by Heritage Auctions. The original is a massive 23" long with a hand-hammered iron guard and pipe-burned stippled wood handle. Mr. Brock's work is phenomenal and in my opinion very well detailed. I have to admit that I was laughing while taking it from the box and didn't put it down for several hours if that's any indication of how trilled I was (and still am!).
