EARLY 19TH CENTURY FIGURE 8 NAVAL CUTLASS. You are bidding on a War of 1812 era figure 8 cutlass in fine condition that is possibly American. The 28-1/2″ blade exhibits a single fuller. The thin metal guard and handle retain most all of their original black finish.

American figure 8 cutlasses are quite scarce and this is a nice example of one variant form. Accompanying scabbard fits sword very well and exhibits a well made soldered brass tip.
