For sale is an 1845 pattern Royal Navy cutlass. The 1845 Pattern was significantly different from the 1804 Pattern. The blade, at 291⁄2 inches (75 cm), was the longest of any pattern of cutlass to be issued and was significantly more curved. The knuckle-guard was a simple steel bowl, providing greater protection than the double disc design, the outside of which curved outwards for additional strength (a feature retained in later patterns). This was the Royal Navy’s main Cutlass sword until the 1889 pattern replacement.
*Condition*
Considering its age and past working life, the cutlass is in reasonably good condition. The grip is still very solid and integral with some light pitting. The blade is heavily greased to protect it. Because of this, the blade is nicely preserved. The leather scabbard is also in good condition with some markings on the leather. Please refer to the images as a part of our condition report.
