CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. AMES M1860 NAVY Cutlass
Dated 1862 With LEATHER SCABBARD
Here we present an antique U.S. Ames Model 1860 Naval Cutlass, made in 1862, in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The M1860 was a fantastic vessel boarding weapon in its time and served well in its role in the U.S. Navy during the American Civil War. Only an estimated 25,000 of these were produced during the war, compared to 300,000 of the M1860 Light Cavalry Sword.
This specimen bears the standard markings of a M1860, but also has the number “24M” and “915” stamped into the quillion. These are likely denoting the naval unit or ship rack number that used this particular piece. The ricasso faintly bears the “USN”, “1862” and an ordnance inspector’s marking on the left. The overall length is 31-3/4 inches with the blade measuring 25-3/4 inches. It sports a brass hilt, a wire-wrapped leather grip, and a leather scabbard.
The overall condition is Near Fine. The twisted wire and leather wrapping the handle are intact, although the wire has slightly loosened. The hand guard is solid with the scabbard retaining its strength. This sword is what most people imagine a pirate, or a navy man at sea wielding, making it a strong display piece for any collection.
