Civil War US Model 1860 Naval Cutlass by Ames
Description: This is a handsome cutlass that measures 32" overall, with a 25 7/8" curved, single-edged blade having wide, single fullers. The steel has much of the original bright finish visible, with the balance freckled plum-brown. Additionally, there is a narrow strip of dark oxidation along the edge of the foible on the reverse side. The ricasso has the Ames scroll trademark on the reverse, with clear "(anchor) / U.S.N. / P / D.R. / 1862" on the obverse. The brass hilt has an overall yellow-ochre patina with the interior of the counterguard retaining a period black painted finish. The ridged leather grip has moderate flaking throughout, with a slight separation along the seam, and the braided wire wrap is no longer present. No scabbard is included. This is a very attractive Civil War naval cutlass, in good-very good condition, and would make a nice piece for display. Price: $895.00 Contact Seller |
