A naval officer’s private purchase cutlass with sun and moon talismans (faded) etched to blade and the figure of eight guard modified (reduced one side) for wearing not stowing / racking (to prevent the guard sticking into the officer’s side and wearing his uniform), dates from the early 1800s around the time of the Battle of Trafalgar. No maker’s mark.
The 29 5/8 inch blade with moon and sun (feint) etched talismans is in aged but sound condition; the tip has some impact damage and there are several nicks along the cutting edge. Blade firm in hilt. The modified / reduced one side guard is good. The barrel iron grip aged but good. Scabbard absent.
