| Description: |
| Here is an excellent and clean original example of an Ames 1862-dated government naval cutlass that would have been carried by U.S. Navy seamen aboard ship during the Civil War. The blade on this boarding cutlass measures 26” long, 1¼” wide at the ricasso and has a flat back with a single, wide, unstopped fuller. The blade exhibits very little scattered freckeling. Reverse ricasso has a very thin maker’s three-line address that reads “AMES MFG Co / CHICOPEE / MASS.” The obverse shows an anchor, " P" then a half stamped U.S.N. over D. R. over 1862”. Brass hilt, often referred to as a ‘soup ladle’ guard, is a rounded cup of heavy sheet brass riveted to the quillon and knucklebow and provides grip protection to the user. Guard has likely been cleaned at one time but now offers a pleasing bronze patina overall. and polished bright. Inside top edge of the quillon is stamped “19M / 649” which are thought to be rack position numbers on the ship. 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. Cutlass has the leather washer. The carved wooden handle is wrapped with original black bridle leather that is in excellent condition. The brass wire wrap has gone missing. The high domed brass pommel is of the Phrygian design with the brim stamped with inspector marks “DR”. A far better than usually seen and early war dated, reasonably priced Civil War naval cutlass sans scabbard. Call us. |
