Description 🔉
A rare 1814-pattern Royal Navy seaman’s cutlass, featuring a blackened steel figure-of-eight guard and a grooved cast-iron grip. The guard comprises an oval shell with a turned-over rear edge and a broad oval knuckle guard.
The curved, falchion-form steel blade has a flat back extending to the point and a shallow fuller near the back edge. This unusual combination of blade and double-disc hilt distinguishes it from the more familiar straight-bladed 1804 pattern.
Few examples of this variant were produced, and its design may have been influenced by American naval cutlasses used during the War of 1812.
For similar examples see catalogue number ZBA2241 and WPN1409 at the Royal Museum Greenwich.
