I pressed the link and the website came up, but no photographs . . .

That may be because they only had one. Guess a picture will have to wait.

You could do some damage with that................ Imagine a dozen screaming tars or whatever they were called coming over the rail at you

You could do some damage with that................

Indeed, not elegant like a saber or rapier but very effective in confined spaces. Congratulations on obtaining this very nice piece Wellington.

That is a very good-looking cutlass--no frills, just practicality.

That there is real Frog Sticker right Wellington? Very nice piece Sir. A great addition to any collection. Tell me about the Grip if you would. It doesnt look like leather and I see no wire wrap. I'm not familiar with Cutlasses. It looks like Guta Percha?
