British cutlass early 19th .

I get the distinct impression that Solingen would stamp up any blade with any motif that would help it sell, wherever! I saw some machetes for sale at Birmingham AF with all these lovely suns moons and whatever and due to the marks were being sold as RN cutlasses of the 18th C! Knowledge is power, and is why I haunt (haunt I say) and value this forum. Anyway, for what it is worth, here is one of mine.
Posted before on another thread.... Sold to me as a Victorian British military blade for cutting forage.
