Aye, ya hooked me, Cap'n Jim!
 Unfortunately, I do not have an original of this pattern, but I am definately planning on adding one someday, when the economy turns... Although there are similar patterns dating to the time of the Revolution, the India copy represented in this post most closely matches so called "private purchase" cutlasses of the 1800-20 period. There is a very similar one in Gilkerson's Boarders Away under the Private Purchase sword section. Here are some slightly similar swords of the period (despite some of these labeled as "Rev War", I'll stick by my assessment of time-line). One is the Nathan Starr 1826 model. http://arms2armor.com/Swords/1826navcut.htm www.american-swords.com/closeups/rev_3964.htm www.oldswords.com/database/viewItem.php?id=1234 |

Here is the exact type being copied- note the third one down. This pattern, with its sheet-guard hilt and fluted grip, is circa 1805-50.
