    Description

    CIVIL WAR AMES M 1850 FOOT OFFICER  SWORD DATED INSPECTED IN 1862 DELIVERED IN 1862 ONE OF 575 , THIS A VERY RARE AMES IN EXISTENCE IN ANY CONDITION. THE SCABBARD IS 100% INTACT, WITH A SMALL REPAIR . IT IS ESTIMATED THAT LESS THAN 100 OUT OF THE 575 MADE AND DATED IN 1862 ARE IN EXISTENCE, REGARDLESS OF CONDITION. THIS WAS A 00 SWORD PLUS A FEW YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF RARITY IF YOU WERE ABLE TO FIND ONE. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR THE AMES COLLECTOR.
    Ames is probably the most desirable maker amongst American sword collectors.  All things considered equal, these swords will almost certainly command a premium above their counterparts.  There is much already written about the The Ames Sword Company (herein referred to as "Ames").  In my opinion,
    Civil War Cavalry & Artillery Sabers
    by John Thillman and
    The Ames Sword Company 1835 - 1865
    by John Hamilton, will cover most of the collector's curiosities.
