Now this is a rare bird! This is a very nice example of the rarely seen U.S. Naval Cutlass, as used from 1860-1865. The boarding cutlass was derived from the French pattern of 1833, often referred to as a “cullere a pot,” or more commonly called the “soup ladle” weapon. It features all brass mounts, a wood with leather wrapped sword grip, and a nice brass-fitted leather scabbard. The leather of the grip is somewhat intact and nearly all of the wire wrap is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved 25 1\/2 inch blade's ricasso no longer has any markings visible that we can find. Ames was notorious for stamping their items very lightly and even brand new some were difficult to read. Now we do not know this is an Ames example, it does share the same characteristics as them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included leather scabbard is in very nice condition, with the expected wear from service and age. It still has most of the original black finish, though it is cracking in places, and the brass fittings are oxidized, with light denting. The scabbards usually rotted away and are very seldom seen. This scabbard is certainly period manufactured and is the typical type seen with the Ames produced cutlass as it does have rivets down the back side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in very nice collector's condition, original Civil War Naval Cutlasses are getting harder and harder to find every year!
