AMES MFG CO 1832 U.S. Foot Artilleryman’s Short Sword & Scabbard
- Ames Manufacturing Company of Chicopee Massachusetts
- Hefty, double-edged, steel blade that measures 19” long x 1¾” wide at the hilt
- Solid brass hilt has the typical ‘fish-scale’ handle and strong eagle marks embossed on both sides of the pommel
- Matching leather scabbard is in good condition, complete with its brass throat and is missing brass drag
- Brass buttonhook on throat is tight
- These short swords are difficult to locate in the collecting field today and this specimen with its original scabbard would make a wonderful addition to any early US military edged weapon display or collection
