Spanish Mid-18th Century Naval Boarding Cutlass. Circa 1760. #2508001. This rare mid-18th Century Spanish boarding cutlass dates to around 1760. The age of the fighting sail, when Spain was a dominant maritime power, its naval, merchant and buccaneer vessels roaming the world’s shipping lanes. The craftsmanship of the cutlass is more refined than that of enlisted seamans examples, suggesting that it may have been the property of an officer or a private purchase by a merchant or buccaneer. The presence of a scabbard also supports the likelihood of this being an officer's weapon. Cutlasses for use by naval seamen were often bought without scabbards as they were stored in locked racks and only distributed at times of need.The 685mm blade has a short, 220mm flat spine, after which the blade becomes double-edged and terminates in a spear point. The un-fullered blade has a hexagonal cross section for the first 465mm of its length. The forte of the blade bears a deeply struck maker’s mark.The broad blade is 40mm wide at the base and retains its fighting edges. The blade was plated, presumably for display purposes and is in excellent condition.The brass guard is in excellent condition with a fantastic patina. The front of the A-symmetrical shell guard is engraved with what appears to be 01 01 over 13. I am unsure as to the meaning of this, it could be a rack number or gun crew station number, for example, Gun deck 1, gun 1, weapon 13. This is just a guess though.The grip retains its original leather and twisted copper wire. The grip appears to have had a protective coat of lacquer, that has helped preserve the leather. The blade is firm in the hilt.The sword is complete with its leather covered wooden scabbard with brass mounts. The scabbard is in excellent condition for its age. The stitching is intact. The sword sheaths and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a fantastic example of a rare mid-18th Century Spanish naval cutlass. Was: £795.00Now:

British 1859 Mk II Cutlass Bayonet. #2407021. British Pattern 1859 Type II Naval Cutlass Bayonet for use on the 1858 Enfield .577 Naval Rifle. This cutlass bayonet was made by the German company A. & E. Holler and is one of only 13,000 produced by them. Most of the 13,000 made were used by the Royal Navy, but some were sold to the United States and were used during the American Civil War. The 680mm un-fullered blade has a flat spine and single-edge. The blade terminates in a spear point and has a 240mm upper false edge. The blade is in excellent condition and was service sharpened. The forte is stamped with an oval cartouche containing the maker mark "A. & E. H." A. & E. Holler of Solingen Prussia who used this trademark between 1854 and 1885. The blackened steel bowl guard is in excellent condition. The chequered leather grips are in similarly excellent condition and the external spring catch works perfectly. The lack of British War Department or Naval ownership and inspection stamps suggests that this cutlass bayonet was one of those made for export. The cutlass bayonet is complete with its original black leather, steel mounted scabbard. The leather is in excellent condition with the stitching intact and tight. There are age and use related scuffs to the leather. The steel locket and chape are in good condition with a speckling of tarnish and very shallow pitting. This is an excellent example of a rare British Pattern 1859 Type II naval cutlass bayonet by a scarce maker.
