Despite already having an Ames example in my collection, I picked this up about 5 years ago due to the comments in John H. Thillmann's book "Civil War Army Swords". Thillmann indicates the Collins Musician sword is very scarce, he himself only knowing of one, and apparently no example was available to be photographed for his book. When I came across the sword it was priced no differently than other musicians sword, so I snapped it up. I have since seen one or two others offered for sale, but none in such nice condition. Hope you enjoy the photos.
