Great collection, Wellington!:cool: I also like to mix the real memorabelia with my toy soldiers, as it makes for a very interesting display.

As for only owning one..impossible...it would be like me saying to you ......you can only my one toy soldier....:)
 
Wow, I've never heard of a cast iron grip before. Thank you for the info. Again, very nice piece!
 
All 1804 cutlasses and many prior too were cast iron...

Here is an example in the British National Maritime Museum.....

If you look at "materials"...you will see it says cast iron.

Here is one for sale in England as we speak...scroll down its the third from the top...click on and enlarge the pics...to get a better view....1804 cutlasses were the sword that the British used in the War of 1812 and Napoleonic Wars including Trafalgar...although crude....a very real weapon used by the Royal Navy...most were assigned to their perspective ships and were handed out to the men for han to hand combat...they belonged to the ship not the men...British Property.
