omschrijvingCutlass- the hilt of the cutlass consists of either a steel or an iron guard which has been painted black- made in the form of a double-disc. The tongue at the back of the guard is rolled up and has a slot for a knot near the pommel. The cutlass has an iron grip- which is horizontally grooved at close intervals and has six vertical cuts made at wide intervals. The steel blade is made in the falchion (short sword) form and is slightly curved- flat-backed to the point and has a shallow narrow groove near the back edge running within 430mm of the hilt. The scabbard is missing. The style of the hilt was in use in the early 19th century. However- the combination of the style of the blade and the hilt is unusual. It was introduced in 1814 -very few were produced and may have been copied from the American cutlass used in the War of 1812.
