Original U.S. Civil War Rare Model 1860 Naval Cutlass by Ames Mfg. Co. with Great Markings & Wire-Wrapped Grip - Dated 1862 Brown Bess Lieutenant CommanderOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a tremendous high end 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 and a wire wrapped leather grip, indicative of issue to an officer. These almost never retain their wire, so this is a scarce offering.
