CONFEDERATE CUTLASS. Adapted from a captured Union 1860 pattern cavalry saber and patterned after the US model 1860 cutlass, probably by a ship's blacksmith. The blade with MANSFIELD AND LAMB maker's mark to the ricasso and US 1865 opposite. The blade shortened to 24 ¾” with the point reshaped and thinned appropriately. The hilt with the side bars removed and replaced with a brass semi bowl guard. Original wire wrapped leather covered grip, well worn. The hilt with dark patina. The blade with surface rusting which would clean easily, but should be left to preserve the character. The Confederate Navy protected Confederate harbors and engaged with the Union at blockaded ports to draw off gunships allowing blockade runner to dock. As well, the Confederate Navy sailed the globe disrupting supply ships headed to the north. To that end, Jefferson Davis in 1861 declared that the Confederate government would issue letters of marque, to any wishing to aid the South against US shipping, thus establishing privateers under the Confederate flag. The most illustrious of Confederate naval ships was the CSS Shenandoah which traveled as far as Australia and the Indian Ocean, capturing or sinking 38 vessels and remaining active until November of 1865. It was the Shenandoah which fired the last shot (across the bow of a whaler in the Aleutians) of the Civil War.

US M1860 Naval Cutlass and Scabbard. Most US swords of the 19th C were patterned after earlier French models, and the US Model 1860 Naval Cutlass was patterned after the French M1833 Cutlass. It was a robust weapon designed for the close quarters fighting expected on ships of the era, and was in service from the beginning of the Civil War until shortly before WWII. Over 25,000 of these were made, most by N. P. Ames of Chicopee, Massachusetts. This example with the typical brass hilt, featuring large bowl guard riveted with 10 rivets to the knuckle bow. Phrygian helmet style pommel stamped with “D.R.” (R only partially visible), for Ames inspector Daniel Reynolds. Later worn alloy grip, indicating it was likely refurbished and reissued. The inside of the quillon is stamped “10M/975”, which indicates a serial number of 10,975 (10M for 10,000, plus 975). Curved singled-edged 25 3/4” blade with broad unstopped single fuller. The blade is worn and cleaned, with the typical Ames markings no longer visible, though it was likely made in 1862. Original leather scabbard (leather flaking) with lapped seam on the reverse secured by copper rivets and washers; brass frog button. The typical large copper through-rivet securing the end of the scabbard has been replaced with a smooth brass drag. Old leather belt frog. Overall length 31 1/4”, not including scabbard. A few shallow dents in the guard and pommel; guard slightly loose.
