BEWARE OF FAKED US M1860 Naval Cutlass - This one was PURPORTED to be one of the 300 pieces which were issued to the US Federal Army during the Civil War.

This FAKE M1860 Naval Cutlass most likely started out as a bad reproduction with the owner looking to make more out of it than it was. This fake does not even have the Required Naval Serial Number on the Guard which was used as "evidence and proof" that it was sent to the Union Army. Additionally, upon close inspection the entire guard and cup hilt are of one stamped or molded piece whereas an original would be two pieces riveted together. The blade does not have any maker marks or markings on either side, and it has been chromed yet has been deliberately allowed to rust and become pitted, but there is no way to hid the chrome!

A Study in FAKE and REPRODUCTION US Navy M1860 Naval Cutlass - Warning! Beware of Fakes!	Click Photo!	Photographic examples and written text will illustrate and compare both the fakes to the antique originals.
Fake M1860 Naval Cutlass This particular fake was not a very good one and was advertised as one of the 300 M1860 naval cutlasses which were issued to U.S. Federal Army during the Civil War. There is no question that this is a fake since the hilt and guard are one piece stamped or molded made to resemble a riveted two piece original. There is no serial number on the guard which they recognized but used this missing and required naval stamp as proof that it was one of the 300 pieces which were issued to the Union Army.	The blade is almost identical in shape and size to the original Ames M1860 blade with the exception of having no markings on the ricasso. While the hilt and blade are tight, and the leather washer or bushing installed is way too new for being 150 years old. The blade is chromed yet very pitted as can be seen as if someone left this out in the rain and environment so as to allow it to begin rusting and pitting naturally, but there is no way they could ever get rid of the chrome plating.
