Default swedish cutlass ?

Hello everybody,

I bought this cutlass without knowing it's origin,
I liked his kukri shape like !
I think it's a real old model

I found informations telling it is a swedish ? naval knife-cutlass

Do specialists know these ''stamps'' : A&E.H a crown and GvA on the guard

a 1848 or Later edition ?

? Kind regards

Now that the pictures are ok !...

The cutlass-knife came with this item sold as a dagger,

I think more a shortened sword,
maybe an european british model ?

I think the brass handled one is a Bandsman's short sword.

No, as far as I'm informed this is the Swedish infantry side arm (Faschinenmesser) M 1848

Hello Thank you David and Corrado for your comments !

Thank you David for the Bandsman short sword info,
I like the brass lion's head
I thought about a shortened sword because the blade ends
in a strange way...
What do you think ?

Kind regards
