1864 Ames Model M1840 Musicians Sword
This antique Ames Model M1840 Musicians Sword is an authentic civil war relic. Dated "1864", it is approximately 145 years old. This is not a replica or reproduction -- it is a genuine civil war sword passed down through the family of its owner. Recently purchased at an estate sale, this musicians sword is now in the catalog of Sheridan Coins & Collectibles and can be yours to display or to wear in civil war re-enactments. This musicians sword was manufactured by Ames Manufacturing Co. in 1864. Ames made 17,550 M1840 musicians swords under contract with the U.S. government. The sword is marked with the Ames manufacturer's mark. The words "Made by Ames Mfg Co - Chicopee Mass" are enclosed within a scroll design on one side of the blade. US - J. F. - 1864 is stamped on the opposite side. "J. F." is the inspector's initials. The musicians sword has a "D shaped" guard with cast handle. It measures 34.25" long with a 28" blade. This sword was the property of Alexander Dougherty and passed down through the family until recently acquired by Sheridan Coins & Collectibles. The N.P. Ames Company opened its doors in 1791 at their factory at Chelmsford, Massachusetts. In 1832 Nathan P. Ames signed his first contract with the United States government for Foot Artillery swords. Thus began the tradition that exists to this day at America's oldest sword manufacturer.
