A British 1845 Pattern Royal Navy Cutlass.
This example is well used and seems to have been used as a training cutlass.
The slightly curved, unfullered, blade measures 26 inches, and has a rounded point. Traces of makers and other markings to both ricasso's, contact marks to the service sharpened edge, and signs of cleaning.
I am as sure as I can be that the makers mark is for "R&W Aston" of Birmingham.
The black painted steel bowl is slightly misshapen, consistent with training use, no movement between blade and hilt.
This example bearing a brass elongated diamond plaque to the front of the bowl guard, bearing the rack number.
Untouched condition overall, and could be improved if desired.
Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched. Please send this at the time of ordering, to prevent unnecessary delay in your order being dispatched.
