Description: THIS PEN KNIFE HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, DISPLAYED AT MANY CIVIL WAR SHOWS ACROSS THE SOUTH, AS PART OF MY FORREST FAMILY PHOTO DISPLAY! YOU CAN READ THE STORY ON THE KNIFE FROM THE FRAME, I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT APART. THIS PEN KNIFE BELONGED TO CONFEDERATE GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST IN HIS LAST YEARS. MRS. BRADLEY TOLD MY FRIEND THAT THE GENERAL HAD CLEANED HIS FINGER NAILS WITH IT. I RESEARCHED THE FAMILY OF MY FRIEND ED DOLL, AND THE GENERAL'S GRAND DAUGHTER, MARY FORREST BRADLEY, AND THEY BOTH BELONGED TO THE COMMODORE PERRY CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE OLDEST CHAPTER IN MEMPHIS, SO ED'S STORY WAS TRUE! IF YOU DOUGHT ME YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, BUT BE PREPARED TO WAIT FOR A RESPONSE, THESE LADIES ARE VERY BUSY, IT TOOK ME 3 MONTHS! I AM SELLING THE KNIFE BECAUSE AT 81 YEARS OF AGE, AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE KNIFE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT SOLD AT A YARD SALE AFTER I AM GONE FOR $.25. THIS WAS THE GREATEST GENERAL PRODUCED DURING THE CIVIL WAR, GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE WAS ASK WHO WAS HIS FINEST GENERAL, LEE RESPONDED A MAN THAT I HAVE NEVER MET, FORREST OF TENNESSEE, EVEN THE YANKEE GENERAL SHERMAN, HAD RESPECT FOR HIM, DURING THE WAR HE SAID IF IT COST 10,000 MEN AND BROKE THE NATIONAL TREASURY FORREST HAD TO BE STOPPED! SEVERAL YEARSV AGO I WAS OFFED $10,000 FOR THE KNIFE , BUT TURNED IT DOWN, I THOUHT I WOULD LIVE FOREVER, BUT I SOLD MY PHOTO DISPLAY AFTER THE LAST CIVIL WAR SHOW, AND NOW DOWN TO JUST A FEW FORREST RELICS. JUST SOLD THE PICTURE FRAME MADE FROM A WINDOW SHASH FROM THE FORREST BOYHOOD HOME. I DON'T THINK MY PRICE IS UNREASONABLE! THERE ARE FEW RELICS FROM GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORRST LEFT OUT THERE , FREE SHIPPING , AND INSURANCE I CAN BELIEVE NO ONE HAS NOT JUMPED ON THIS, YOU DON'T FIND SOMETHING THAT BELONGED TO GENERAL FORREST EVERY DAY. I HAVE DROPPED THE PRICE A THOUSAND DOLLARS, BUT WILL GO NO LOWER,
