This is a very nice service used 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. As originally issued, these featured all brass mounts, a wooden leather wrapped sword grip, and a nice brass fitted leather scabbard.
