US Navy M1870 Ames Co. Second Pattern Sword Bayonet with Scabbard
Description: This is Model 1870 second pattern for the Navy rolling block rifle with a 20" straight saber blade, double edged with a central fuller. The brass hilt is rather ornate. The grip is designed to look like overlapping fish scales while the pommel has a bird’s head beak with the insignia of the Navy Board of Ordnance, two crossed cannon superimposed on an anchor. The grip is rather bulky, with the stud groove set high, and the pommel has a hole in it to take the tip of the rifle’s cleaning rod, since the bayonet was mounted on bottom stud. The blade is bright with scattered light mottling. The condition is excellent with perfect edges, fine tip and nice marker markings. On the reverse: "1870/G.G.S./U.S.N." On the obverse, "Ames Mfg. Co. / Chicopee/ Mass.". The brass hilt has a mellow age patina. The crossguard, marked "s", and handle are in excellent condition with "G.G.S." stamped in front of the lug rail. The spring and locking button are present and functional. With "J.G.B." inspector’s initials found on the top of the pommel. The accompanying leather scabbard is likewise in near excellent condition. Scabbard has brass Locket and Chape which are still tightly attached and in very good condition with the finial marked "s". The black leather body remains in excellent condition with tightly stitched seam and minor imperfection. Over-all and excellent example of a classic Naval Sword Bayonet. ; Price: $650.00 Contact Seller |
