A121. AMES - M1860 CAVALRY OFFICER’S SABER
- SCHUYLER, HARTLEY & GRAHAM RETAILED: One of the rarest and most
sought-after swords is the Ames M1860 Cavalry Officer’s saber, and it is often
missing from most advance collections. Even more rare, is an unmarked specimen
sold to an independent retailer. Most likely, this sword blade was factory
damaged and repaired prior to being sold to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham who
then etched and sold it. The entire sword is Ames, from the pommel cap to the
guard; the shark-skin grip and wire; the blade and the even more rare steel
scabbard with wide brass mounts. 12 1/4 inches from the tip is a dove-tail
factory repair. It most likely was buffed out and not visible when done, but is
noticeable today, and the blade is full length to the scabbard, which is
period. The blade is Schuyler, Hartley & Graham retailer marked and etched.
The scabbard is in great condition with a few minor dings and all mounts, and
only missing the screw for the drag. The pommel cap and guard are a little
loose, and there is some missing wood and shark-skin near the pommel cap. The hilt
is identical to the one depicted on page 87 of John Thillmann’s book Civil War
Cavalry & Artillery Sabers, and the scabbard in identical to the one depicted
on page 90. This may be an Ames M1860 Cavalry originally made for the
1861 US Ordnance contract, but had an issue with the blade and was sold off to the retailer Schuyler, Hartley & Graham. Ames cavalry officer’s sabers are rare; however, since it was retailed by Schuyler, Hartley & Grahamis, it is discounted to a more reasonably priced.$1900.00

F232. FLORIDA
ROSE "CHEROKEE ROSE" MARKED - CONFEDERATE
CAPTURED & ARSENAL REPAIRED & REISSUED BRIDGESBURG M1861 RIFLE: During the
Civil War, the Confederates would salvage weapons off the battlefield and send them
to their arsenals to be cleaned, refurbished and repaired. The process was known
a "Clean & Repair” and was well documented for Virginia with inspectors
marking the weapons before being reissued. However; we know this was done at
other locations such as Macon Georgia, but to dated there are no known inspector
marks for these guns and it is believed none exist. It is not unusual to find
weapons that have been modified; altered; or repaired, and have characteristics
similar to the Virginia C & R guns. This is one such Model 1861 contract
rifle; an 1862 dated Bridgesburg rifle. The Confederate Arsenal work includes
an Austrian Lorenz hammer, a Confederate blade rear site, barrel bands
held in place with period screws, and a Confederate made ram-rod. The
rifling is faint and all but fired smooth; which is another indication of
heavy Confederate use. On the right side of the stock is a circle design of
unknown meaning; but on the left side is a six-point star. The State of Florida had the “Florida
or Cherokee Rose Six Point-Star”. The Florida Rose or Six-Pointed Star was
adopted by the Confederate supportive government of the state of Florida during
the pre to early War period to mark its state militias as Florida troops. This
was worn be some but not all Florida Confederate Soldiers, but found its way to
being one of the few insignia utilizes by Florida Confederate Troops. No doubt
this was a Confederate captured gun that found its way to a Florida Confederate
soldier. The nipple has been replaced. Shipping
& Insurance included. $1800.00
