The 1860 Naval Cutlass is a fine reproduction of the cutlass designed by Ames and first carried in 1860. A fine addition to your Civil War armory. This cutlass has a sweeping upturned blade(called a falchion), a single fuller (a fuller is the long groove found on some sword blades, it is there for balance and not as some think for exiting blood). Its 25 1/2" blade and basket hand-guard were well suited for the close quarters combat of wooden ships and iron men.  This style of sword was very popular during the Civil War.
