An obvious copy of the British 1804P Royal Naval cutlass, this edged weapon has the Swedish Crown acceptance mark, made by both Britain and Prussia for the Swedes to fight the Russians with in the Russo-Swedish War of 1788–1790 (mainly naval battles; see here). The “pineapple grip” refers to a naval sword with a steel or iron chequered ridged handle. The term “Figure of Eight” refers to the guard which, if flattened, would resemble the number eight.
