Ames Mfg. Co. style sword features described below with heavier blade and scabbard.

Manufactured: Chicopee, Mass. ??  Maker: Ames Mfg. Co. ??  Year: C1830s +  Model: Mamaluke   Size: 31.75 inch blade length, .97 wide, .36 thick !  Condition: Excellent+

The later styles of the Marine Mamaluke circa 1830 and 40's seem to have brought about straighter blades, acid etched blade designs, more curvature to the ivory grips and raised center scabbards making them diamond shaped in cross section. The last 11 inches of the blade has a double fuller. This feature has continued on high quality Marine swords even those of today. This sword has features that point to Ames Mfg. Co. The thin neck of the grip, longer drag rim, heavier blade and fine finials are all similar to Ames production. This blade is .36 inches thick making it quite a formidable weapon.  As mentioned the ivory grips are much more rounded rather than the earlier flat slab design. The gross guard is undecorated with pointed finials on the quillons. The scabbard is heavier than most of these with the raised center line design and attached carry rings (single ring on the top mounting) and a frog stud. The drag is squared off.
