Authentic NP Ames US Navy Model M1841 Naval Cutlass with Rack Number 56 Stamped onto Brass Hilt!

Antique Mexican-American War and Civil War era . RARE! Over 160 Years Old! Only 6600 Ever Manufactured From 1841 to 1847. Overall a fantastic piece with no damage whatsoever. There is absolutely minimal pitting on the blade with two battle nicks! An overall dark patina as should be seen and expected. The Brass Hilt, Fish Scale Grip, and Pommel have an even aged patina and are in excellent condition.

The Military Inspection and Arsenal Marks on the Reverse Ricasso are Clearly Read "USN, 1845, R". On the Obverse Ricasso the Manufacturer Mark only the "N.P. A" is left visible. The Military Inspectors Initials "JL" and "RC" are clearly Visible on the Quillon of the Guard. The Federal Eagle is also Clearly Seen on both sides of the Pommel on this Cutlass and is quite striking. MOST RARE is the "No 56" stamped into the inside guard of the grip which indicates the rack number of this cutlass aboard a ship! Based upon this rack number and two battle nicks on the blade this particular cutlass has seen action!

The M1841 Naval Cutlass had an overall length of 26.5" while the straight dual edged blade was at 21" and resembled the Roman Legionaires short sword. Had an all brass hilt with a grip resembling fish scales or feathers with a D-style knuckleguard and cup. The pommel had the Federal Eagle on both the right and left sides. All in all an exceptional US Navy M1841 Cutlass!
