A Model 1834 Revenue Cutter Service sword of the "old regulation" type, with gilded-brass hilt and a straight double-edged 29 inch blade. The blade is finished in white and has floral and scroll engravings that also include trident and marine items. A fouled anchor is etched into both sides. " Ames Mfg Co Chicopee/Mass " is found 1.5 inches from the reverse base. Both guards fold, and there is a friction latch with spring. The smaller rear guard is oval and has the name " Lyman W. Rumney " on it. The oval pommel has " Liberty " across the center with five lightning strokes under it. The reverse pommel has a shield. The grips are brass with diagonal lines. The leather scabbard has a wide, brass throat with a stud, which has a fouled anchor on it. There is a middle band engraved with the Treasury Seal and a grip with floral engraving. Very rare. Nothing including rank could be found on Lyman W. Rumney in the Revenue Cutter Service.
