This offering is for the pictured US Model 1860 Naval Cutlass. In good looking condition and a Civil War era item.
This government naval boarding cutlass would have been carried by U.S. Navy seamen aboard ships during the Civil War. The blade measures 26” long, 1¼” wide. The blade metal has a pepperd frosted finish with minor nicks on the blade edge.
The brass hilt, or knuckle guard is a rounded cup of heavy sheet brass riveted to the knuckle bow that provides hand protection to the user. Inside the top edge of the quillon is stamped "13M 284" which was thought to be rack position numbers on the ship. The carved wooden handle is sound and missing the twisted brass wire wrap as most are. Also missing is the leather scabbard, as most did not survive. The sword makes a fine display piece for the military collector.
(See photos for exact condition.)
