AMERICAN MEXICAN WAR CIVIL WAR HIGH GRADE UNMARKED AMES MILITIA SWORD

PRESERVING AMERICAN HISTORY AMERICAN MEXICAN WAR CIVIL WAR,CARRIED HIGH OFFICER SWORD CA 1840-48. MEASURES 37 1/2 INCHES OVERALL WITH A 31 1/2 INCH BLADE. THIS IS AN UNMARKED AMES MADE AROUND 1845 , VERY RARE NOT MANY COME TO MARKET. SMALL CRACK IN THE BONE- IVO CONSUISTANT WITH AGE.

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.
