British Royal Navy or Colonial American Navy Cutlass with Figure 8 or Double Disk Iron Guard, Bone Grip, Curved Double Fullered falchion Blade - Photographic Documentation and Historical Analysis ca 1730-1770s

This naval cutlass is referenced and identified in both "Boarders Away" By Gilkerson and "The American Sword 1775-1945" by Peterson.

It is unclear whether this was a British-made naval cutlass by "Hollier" or copied and manufactured by a cutler in Colonial America ca 1750. This pattern of naval cutlass first produced by Hollier for the British Navy in the very early 1700s but it was well copied by American Colonial blacksmiths and cutlers beginning in the 1750s at the outbreak of the French and Indian War. We tend to think it is American made due to the cruder workmanship of the figure 8 guard as exemplified by colonial sword production. The blade may perhaps be of British origin but the iron guard certainly appears to be of American production. This naval cutlass was definitely made and used in the French-Indian War and American Revolutionary War era.

Overall length is 32.5" Length of blade is 26.5" with the width being 1.5" at the thickest point.

The naval cutlass was also sometimes known as a navy sword or naval short sword as the blade was sometimes significantly shorter than some of the 30" plus blades found on infantry and calvary swords.

moreover the sweeping blade of the cutlass was called in french the "falchion" which distiguishes it from the straigher sword blades.
