U813. MODEL 1833 DRAGOON SABER, 1834 DATED: This is one of the most elusive examples of the Model 1833 Dragoon Saber besides those issued to Southern States. It is the 1834 dated saber with United States Dragoon, which is etched on the blade. The original government contract called for 1000 sabers with scabbard to be delivered by November 1. 1834, which Ames completed. The sabers delivered in 1834, 1835 and 1836 were etched United States Dragoon, and those delivered in 1837 and 1839 were etching United Stated. This example is the enlisted version with the steel scabbard. The grip is missing the original dragoon wire and 50% original leather. The blade washer is original and the 34-inch blade is bright with the maker mark faint but readable: N.P. Ames Cutler Springfield 1834. The inspector mark is under the blade washer and the marking is hard to photograph but readable with magnification. The scabbard is the correct lighter version with the split rings and has proper marks on the drag with a nice brown patina. $1800.00

C475. MASSIVE D-GUARD BOWIE – SHEATH & OIL-CLOTH BELT LOOP: This is a massive D-Guard Bowie with a heavy steel sheath with an oil-cloth belt loop. The knife is 21 3/4 inches long with a 16 7/8-inch blade, which has period filling marks and was sharpened. The pinned steal guard holds the leather grip tight with no movement. I do not know if the heavy steel sheath is period, but it perfectly fits the blade. It has a large loop on the reverse side with a period oil-cloth belt loop. Shipping & Insurance included. $3400.00

U963. WESTERN FRONTIER / INDIAN WAR PERIOD - CLIP POINT FIGHTING BOWIE : WOW, this is a large Clip-point fighting knife!
This is a Western Frontier – Indian War period Clip-point Bowie, which was made from a #12 meat cleaver made by H. Ehrlich & Son / St. Joseph Mo. as marked on the blade. A blacksmith did an outstanding job converting a meat cleaver into a large fighting knife with a strong leather sheath. H. Ehrlich & Son may have been in business during the Civil War, but can only find a commercial date of 1870. The knife is 17 1/2 inches long with a 6-inch walnut slabbed grip; 5-inch S-Guard; 11 1/4 X 2 3/8-inch-wide blade with a 5 ½ inch clip-point. The blade has great filing marks and was period sharpened, and there are filling marks on the wood where it was shaped. A steel cross-guard and ferrule were added and have matching patina to the blade. The grip is tight with two original steel pins. The sheath fits perfect to the blade, has 100% stitching and three period brass rivets.The patina is simply great!
This can easily fit with a collection of Indian War period weapons use by both the Army or Native Indians!
Shipping & Insurance included. $1900.00
