RARE! Two terrific old World War One USN Boarding Cutlass'. These are in very good condition, never been used. The Tangs reads "USN". The blades measure 25 inches long and the overall length measures 30 inches. "The regulation cutlass - a short saber with a cut and thrust blade and a large hand guard - "was issued to enlisted men as a sidearm and maintained in ships armories until the beginning of WWII. The weapons was officially declared obsolete in 1949. The Cutlass was considered an organizational issue item, but was never considered to be a part of the enlisted uniform." On the regulation patterns, all metal furniture is "blued" similar to firearms; blade is slightly curved and single-edged with a 'clipped' point. The grips are of cross-hatch patterned wood, held in place by three copper rivets, all painted black. "Great gift for old military US army commando fighting knife collector or nice addition to United States Navy Marine Corps Sword Collection. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!
