Okay, they're actually cutlasses. $105, postage paid, money order only. From left to right:
1. CW period-correct pattern Navy cutlass scabbard with hanger. The hanger is pre-War pattern. Too small for the cutlass (Item 4).
2. Post-CW period-correct pattern Navy cutlass scabbard with hanger. The hanger is CW pattern. Too small for the cutlass.
3. CW period-correct pattern Navy cutlass scabbard with CW pattern hanger. Just barely big enough for the cutlass.
4. Ames 1860 Navy cutlass made in India.
5. Scabbard for Item 6. I haven't found a source that says it is not CW period. It has no hanger.
6. Cutlass with correct hilt and handguard, made in India. Blade is more like a cavalry saber, slimmer and straighter than the other blade. I haven't found a source that says it is not CW period.
And I couldn't care less if any of these things is period-correct. You want to show off how much you know, go do it in the proper conference. I'm just trying to make room in the den.
