I recently purchased a very nice Naval Cutlass from 1862 and just wanted to find a place to find more info and such.

Thanks for any help

Hi Alan,

It would be great to see the entire cutlass. I suspect this is a US M 1860 Navy Cutlass. The anchor, P and GG with the date perpendicular is fairly typical. The GG stands for Commander Guert Gansevoort a navy inspector.

Hope this helps
Jeff

Thanks MEley and Jeff

The whole thing, the scabbard is in pretty bad shape but the sword is in excellent shape
