Civil War Artillery Short Sword
:
CONDITION
:  Used, Relic Condition
This sword appears to be an Ames 1832 Foot Artillery Sword, (
I have not found any markings on it to verify the maker/manufacturer. All original, it has not been cleaned or messed with at all.)
This sword came from a long-time Civil War collection from Dallas, GA,
(no record of where it was found/recovered)
As you can see, it is well-used & well-aged with period rust, dents, hammer marks, etc.
It has what appears to be a period "field" repair with a square nail wedged between one side of the blade & the handle, (
everything is tight, there are no loose parts whatsoever.)
