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-
