[QUOTE="Frank, post: 10577269, member: 5421"]If you clean them, do so cautiously and carefully. What ever you do, DON'T SHARPEN THEM. They look original, and I think they might've been issued with a leather scabbard. As I understand it, cutlasses were part of the ships equipment, and issued to sailors as needed. Good find, I wish I had one! [ATTACH=full]530765[/ATTACH] CSN, Savannah River Squadron / USN Naval landing party Living history[/QUOTE]
