This is a genuine early United States Naval Boarding Cutlass, right from the beginning of the U. S. Civil War.

The curved blade, measuring 26" is dated 1862 on the ricasso, but the makers markings, most likely of AMES & CO, have long been worn away. However, a date of 1862 is legible. Overall length is 32 inches.
