1864 Civil War Ames Musicians Sword With Scabbard. This is a very interesting piece because it is marked as a musicians sword but the clam-shell hand-guard was uncharacteristically put on when it was manufactured. This aspect of the piece resembles an 1840 non commissioned officer's sword.
The sword is in good shape, the handle is tight. The scabbard is coming apart a bit at the seam, and one of the brass rivets is missing. Please look at the photos carefully and ask questions if you have any. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Militaria\Civil War (1861-65)\Original Period Items\Edged Weapons".
