Ames Fraternal Skull Pommel Sword
Condition:
The sword is in excellent condition overall, although the silver plating on the hilt is mostly worn away. The blade is excellent, with all of the etching very clear and crisp. There are a few very minor stains on the lower blade, but no rust or pitting at all. The scabbard has two minor dents. It appears to have been gilt plated, but most of the gilding is gone. The scabbard tip or drag is very handsomely made, appearing to have been made of heavy sheet brass. One of the brass hanging rings is missing. The screw on the drag is missing. One of the thigh bones that form the crossguard is slightly bent.
