Original American Revolutionary War Naval Figure-of-Eight Cutlass with Rack Number XXIV MG 34 Pistol Grip Assembly these straps indicate the NCOOriginal Item. One of a Kind. This is a phenomenal example of an American Revolutionary War Era Naval Figure of Eight Cutlass in original untouched condition. The cutlass is designed in the classic Figure of Eight fashion, with the entire cutlass having a similar peppery oxidation. The cutlass has suffered the salt air of the oceans and is typically rusted (stabilized) and pitted. This example has a lovely brass diamond attached to the bowl guard,
