omschrijvingNorwegian cutlass- the hilt of a cutlass consists of a sheet steel guard with a circular shell and another circular disc of a similar size in the middle of the guard. The guard is engraved with the letters 'H K'- there is a crown over the letter 'K'. The cutlass has a moulded iron grip. The flat steel blade is almost straight. The reverse of the blade is engraved with the letter 'J'- which is probably part of the initials 'C.J' - Carl Johan. The scabbard is missing. The Haeermuseet in Oslo say this sword is identical with 'Kongsberg Vaabenfabrik's marinehuggert' produced at Kongsberg from 1817-1818 and in use until it was replaced by the 1855 pattern. It is not known to have been approved as a Kongsberg pattern as it was a copy of the English 1804 pattern taken from English ships between 1807-1814 and used by the Norwegian Navy. A label attached to the cutlass states 'Norwegian cutlass in the English style probably made before the union with Sweden in 1815'.
