Description:
This war dated sword measures 34 1/2" long with a 28 1/8" straight, single-edged blade having full-length single fullers. The steel retains its bright, original polish with some scattered specks of mild freckling here and there, most noticeably at the tip. The Ames “scroll" trademark is present on the ricasso reverse, while the obverse is stamped and dated, “US/AHC/1862". The cast brass hilt has a mostly dark, yellow-ochre patina, but does also have some large dark spots of verdigris on the sides of the grip. The scabbard is in very good shape with lightly tarnished brass fittings and a moderate amount of crazing along the black leather body. This is a very nice, Civil War dated Musician's Sword and would make a fine addition to a collection.
