Just purchased after selling off other items. Well worth it as these are rather rare. Classic primitive features make this example probably American. The flat disc hilt is even lop-sided, with the rolled iron quillon not lined up with the blade. A very nice example I am very happy to add to the collection. As an added benefit, it came from Peter Tuite's own collection (author of "U.S. Naval Officers: Their Swords and Dirks" plus a well-established authority in the field). These cutlasses border on the realm of folk-art sometimes-

Hi Mark,
Very nice and interesting stuff ![]() Listen, can you (or i) replace these links for directly uploaded pictures? ... You know, using the picture attachment features, images will be kept in the forum archives ![]() |

Hello Fernando,
Opps! I'm still "old school" when it comes to direct uploads except if they are from my own camera (these are from the site I bought the sword from). If it's not too much trouble, do you mind attaching them? Sorry for the inconvenience... |

If you right click your mouse, you can save the images in your documents (my pictures, if you like).
The list on Peter's site is quite nice and I have considered buying from his stuff. The book is terrific and a way to collect all those great swords in one volume. Cheers GC |

Very nice sword. I had an early cutlass slip through my fingers recently and I am still dealing with the psychological trauma, haha. Seriously though, it hurts
