Federal naval cutlass model 1860, manufactured in 1861 by Ames Mfg. Co. in Chicopee, Massachusetts, measuring an overall 31.5″ long and fitted to an 1861 scabbard. The blade has been cleaned and has three small nicks, and the grip is tight and possibly re-wrapped. The riveted black leather scabbard is likewise in very good condition, with some light creasing at the brass swivel knob at the top. A bright and attractive overall appearance.
