Description:

Measuring 37 3/4 inches in overall length, with a 31 1/8 inch straight single fuller blade that is decorated with etched leafy scroll and patriotic designs. The hilt is gilt finished with six-pointed star designs on the guard, a chain knuckle guard, knight's helm pommel and a pair of smooth mother of pearl grip panels. The scabbard is finely browned steel with sculpted drag and suspension bands and a gilt panel marked "N.P. AMES/MAKER/CABOTVILLE/MASS." on the rear.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. Some light spotting is present on the otherwise excellent blade, along with some very strong etching. The gilt finish on the hilt and scabbard fittings is 70% intact, with some minor play in the hilt. The scabbard shows 85% plus original brown with mild spotting.
