I have an Mod 1850 Union Infantry Officers Sword, by Robe. Identified and documented carried by a relative a 1st Lt in the 81st New York Volunteer Infantry. In almost pristine condition and apparently a personal purchase in late 1861 ( no government/inspector markings). Scabbard is complete with all belt hanger fittings. Unfortunately, the drag is missing.
Looking at photos and samples the drags on both Ames and Robe of this period appear to be identical. Possibly a common subcontractor ??.
Anyone have a correct drag to go with my treasure or any advice where I might find one? Any insights on this weapon would be greatly appreciated.
