Description
AMERICAN MEXICAN WAR CIVIL WAR EARLY AMES GENERAL HIGH OFFICER SWORD CIRCA 1834-1836. MEASURES 37 1/2 OVERALL WITH A 31 3/4 INCH BLADE.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.
