Description

~Battle of Trafalgar era Royal Navy 1790 Cutlass~

The cutlass is a short sword with a wide single-edged blade that is often curved. In the Royal Navy it was a sword purchased by the government and issued to ratings. From the beginning of the 18th century the cutlass began to be adopted as the melee weapon for naval ratings. The Board of Ordnance placed orders for quantities of the weapons but these do not seem to have been from a set pattern with different manufacturers providing their own styles of sword.

*Condition*

The Cutlass is in very good condition for its age with some minor nicks on the blade, the sword has some shallow pitting but this is to be expected with a 230 year old sword. The metal itself is solid and shows no current signs of corrosion. Please see the photos as they form part of our condition report.
