This example is constructed of fine quality brass mounts. The "D" guard is adorned with banner's and oak leaves and at the end there is a simulated deer hoof. The hair of the hoof is hand-chiseled at the areas just above. The ferrule area is decorated with a seated squirrel to the obverse and to the reverse a running stag. Below the cross guard area formed by the "D" guard there is a clamshell. This clamshell has a beautifully executed with a flared quillon end which goes upward in a teardrop with a Stag scene. The grip plates are made of white celluloid. The grip plates are decorated with three nuts. These nuts have fine checkered caps and all six are present and are original to this cutlass. The leather scabbard is black and is in excellent condition showing little to no age. This shell has decorative twin lines on the obverse and reverse and the reverse is sewn tight. Mounted to the shell are brass upper and lower fittings. These fittings have scalloped ends where they meet the leather and they are retained by staples in the usual manner. The lower fitting has twin line decoration with a distinct chape button at the lower, and the upper mount is fitted with an acorn style lug. The blade of this example is as nice as you will see. It measures 13 inches and is triple-etched. This blade is still bright and has all of its frosting in the backgrounds. The obverse etch features a hunter kneeling and aiming his rifle at a large stag chasing after a doe jumping over a log. At the upper portion of the etch is a capercaille bird which is sitting on an oak branch chirping. The reverse blade is the etch featuring the hunter running after a boar who is being pounced upon by dogs. The hunter carries a rifle and a cutlass. There are six dogs which are trying to bring this boar down. Some are succeeding, while others are being thrown on their heads. The etch ends up with a humming-bird like which is hovering above an oak-leafed branch. The spine is etched with overlapping oak leaves. The blade of this example is marked to “Carl Eickhorn Solingen”. The green felt washer is still in place. A fine cutlass here in excellent, collectible condition.
