Nathan P, Ames produced over 200,000 swords, cutlass, sabers, NCO, light artillery, heavy artillery, musicians and possibly other bladed materials. Post 1847 blades are marked as Ames Mfg. and some also indicate Springfield, Cabotville, Chicoppee Mass.
The Company produced on contract for the US Army. Lower production figures generally fetch higher prices, and models that had a short life and or unusual markings are valued by collectors. Normal wear and tear will reduce the value. Any attempt at restoration will greatly reduce the value, an incomplete or replacement scabbard ring will result in a 25% mark down. Missing the scabbard and the value is cut by 33%.
As with most collectibles the value is enhanced if a history is available.
The value is greatly enhanced if a notable or noteworthy history is available.
The value is increased if it is like new.
All things considered the value for such a collectible will range $250 to $1,500. It is quite unlikely that it is marked:
- US Navy.
- USMC.
- USAF.
- USCG.
Ames did not produce blades for presentation.
Ames did not produce blades for officers.
Ames made tools for the prosecution of war against an armed enemy.
If the blade has never been honed, it is probably a reproduction and has no value.
If what you have looks like it is new and just came from the factory, then it probably did.

What is the price of a W. H. Horstmann Sons officer's sword made in Philadelphia?
Branch of Service, scabbard and frog as well as overall condition will determine the value. Naval Swords were produced in lesser quantities and Marine Corps Swords of the Civil War era are almost non-existent. An equal quality Army sword has about half the value of a Naval Sword and a Marine Corps Sword about 8 times the value of an equivalent Naval Sword. Top of the line Naval Swords should fetch about $1500. Any related documents such as an original will or purchase receipt would greatly enhance the value.
