A Rare 1827 Experimental Naval Cutlass. 34” overall, 29” blade slightly curved single edged turning into double edged towards the point, steel bowl guard with steel grip shaped for fingers.

Circa 1827                                                                                           

A rare sword in good condition some original paint on hilt, minor edge nicks.

In 1827 three new cutlass designs were trialled by the Admiralty against the 1804 double disk hilt pattern. The new swords by Harry Angelo, Naval instructor in the Cutlass, had a bowl guard & finger grip hilt, two were straight, of different lengths, & one slightly curved as with this example.

See ‘Naval Swords and Dirks’ by Sim Comfort, EW171 pages 356-7 & ‘Swords for Sea Service’ by May & Annis pages 79 to 81.
