Yes, indeed, gentlemen!
  Training cutlass it is and good to see a naval/nautical piece in so many months on the Forum. There's a small brochure/volume you can still pick up on eBay that is a late 19th c. reprint of the actuall exercises/drills used on the British ships. Not anything close to fencing, but fascinating in their brutal simplicity. One of the reasons that the Americans developed their unique leather helmets were to defend against the brutal, almost blunt strike from the cutlasses of the era. Good find, Carlos and thank you gents for thinking of Ole' Pirate Mark ( )
