This is a nice example of a M1917 naval cutlass, this was the last pattern produced and used by the US navy. It was a non-regulation cutlass but they were in use throughout WW II. This particular piece is in outstanding overall condition and retains all of its \"blue\" finish and is un sharpened, near mint . It is very solid and has no looseness whatsoever. The grip is composite material with (3) rivets, there is a small crack in a grip as shown. The overall length is about 30\" inches Blade is ~ 25\" and 1 -15/16 wide.. Very nice piece. I can find no marks on the sword and it comes from the collection of a knowledgeable collector. Do not let the low opening offer fool you the item is genuine with no hidden hurts or other issues. This is a real sale, no BIN, no annoying reserve or sky high starting offer.
