I have not had any experience with AMES in recent years, but they are one of the contract holders for US Marine Corps NCO Sabers and they are the most sought out and highly prized of the bunch.
Perhaps that's changed in recent years, but for over a century, AMES was THE name for USMC NCO sabers.
(I believe they also made the USMC Officer's Mameluke too, but I'm not positive.)
