I hadn't noticed that before, but you're right. The C is very similar to the O.
Thanks for your comment! |

I don't think there's anything wrong with the inscription, not with the C that looks like an O, not even with the A without a small v.
compare the inscription of a sword in the Visser collection now in the Rijksmuseum. see pictures. (overall 752, blade 624, 31mm wide at hilt.) The 1 the 7 the VOC and the A are identical to the ones in post1 These types of cutlass are called ship cutlasses because they belong to the ship's stock, rather than a personal weapon. I would really adjust the grip, it looks ridiculous. best, Jasper |

Thanks for your comment! I also think the handle is a monster, but since this doesn't quite fit in my collection, I'm probably going to part with it. I then leave it to the new owner to embellish the handle.
