William Strachran was born in Scotland in 1825 and immigrated to this country and settled in the Boston Massachusetts area. After the war he ran a restaurant in Woburn, Massachusetts and passed away on October 31, 1892.
A very rare sword made by Ames in good condition but missing the scabbard. The etched blade is fine with some age staining in spots and a few minor nicks present. The grip retains about 80% of its silver plating and has a pleasing appearance.
