This Confederate Naval Cutlass was manufactured by Robert Mole & Son's of Birmingham, England, and imported by Courtney & Tennant of Charleston, South Carolina. The cutlass has a double-edged, 19 1/2 inch wasp wristed blade with single fuller. The obverse ricasso is stamped; "COURTNEY & TENNANT/CHARLESTON, S.C." in a rectangle. "MOLE" is stamped on the back of the blade. The cutlass has a three-branch brass guard with down-turned quillian and two-piece checkered, hard rubber grip.

Exceptionally fine. The bright blade has nearly all of the original polish with some scattered and minor age discoloration. The markings are crisp. The brass guard is in very fine original condition. The hard rubber grip is fine with minor handling wear. This is an exceptional example of an imported Confederate Naval Cutlass.
