Thanks for posting the photos.  I always learn something new here. 

I second the pinning. This fits right in with some of the very informative topical posts in the Edged Weapons. So interesting to be able to find information about the makers and craftsmen!

Here is another ad that was running in September 1943 in the Plain Dealer:

 

Great information, guys. Thanks to all.

Outstanding knives and a great job of research, especially the research, I like it, well done!

 

All the best

Fantastic post.  Great knives and information.

I found this short article about these knives, I am not sure where it came from. I have never seen one of the sheaths shown in the article.

I found another sword knife Charles Ambrose more than likely made. 

Another one from an Italian collection.

 

Not mine but I was sent a picture of a Charles Ambrose sword knife with Service Wet Grinding label attached. 

Very cool! First one like it I have ever seen. 

 

Thanks! 

Looks like an inventory sample

Wow, this is a fascinating thread. Never seen these before. Love the research articles as well!

Incredible! Didn't even know this was a thing! What a unique section of history!

My WWII, Charles Ambrose made Civil War saber knife

I agree totally! These are super cool. Does anyone know the going rate is for one of these? I’m sure they are out of my budget, but I can dream!

An old group picture of some of mine, and my most recent acquisition.

Those are very cool,  I always liked those blades. why waste good steel (back then) I'd cringe to think of doing that today...

Heard about this. Thank`s for this great information and the great pics.

These are fascinating, and great collection.  I hope to find one of these someday.

Lame de 8 pouces

Yes, it looks like a WWII Charles Ambrose cut down Ames 1906 sword knife to me. Pictured are four of my WWII Ames 1906 sword knives for comparison. The blade lengths on mine are 8 3/8", 8 1/4", 8 3/4", and 8 1/2".

Any thoughts on this one?.  Obviously retains the hand guard.  Sword blade is unmarked and the ricasso is bigger.  No name stamped.
