This is a nice looking relic condition original Civil War naval cutlass. It is the classic model 1860 that you associate with the Union navy of the Civil War. The blade has an attractive untouched look and a length at 25-1/2 inches. At the base of the blade you can see only the faintest traces of the maker's mark. On the back of the blade is where at one time it would have had the scroll style maker's mark from the famous Ames Manufacturing Company of Chicopee, Massachusetts. Ames was the premiere sword producer for the U.S. Government during the Civil War. We know it is a Civil War sword because they stopped making this pattern after the war. There wasn't another navy cutlass model until the U.S. model 1917. The front of the blade has the "USN" marking as well as the "DR" inspector initials. You can no longer see the production date digits. It has the basket style guard still present with a nice well worn tone to the brass. The handle has been worn look to the leather with some of the wooden core visible with some of the leather hanging on. This is a good honest untouched Civil War naval cutlass that is still affordable. Item #: C1166 Shipping Weight:
