Pre or early Civil War US Model 1850 Infantry Officer sword and scabbard as manufactured by Ames Manufacturing, Chicopee, Massachusetts, and so marked on both blade and upper scabbard mount. Standard pattern for all Army officers below the rank of Major and made circa 1851-1861. Shows honest field use overall with etched blade, full original grip in leather (as you only see prior to 1864 on the standard issue patterns) and nice original brass mounted leather scabbard. Considerably more scarce to encounter than examples with rayskin or shagreen pebble grain grips.
