This is a classic American Hunting Sword, or Cuttoe, dating to circa 1760, and strongly associated with use during the American Revolutionary War. It measures approximately 26.5" in total length, and while the scabbard is no longer present, the sword remains structurally sound and has been carefully cleaned and oiled for preservation.

The style and form of this piece are directly referenced in George C. Neumann's "Swords & Blades of the American Revolution," p. 97, #106S, confirming its authenticity and period use.

Hunting swords were favored sidearms for colonial officers and militiamen, offering a compact and easily carried blade with both martial and utilitarian value. Often made or assembled domestically using imported European blades, these swords were used for close-quarter combat, ceremonial display, and daily survival in the field. By the time of the Revolution, the hunting sword had become a symbol of colonial resistance, wielded by men fighting not with formal military issue, but with whatever they had at hand. This example speaks directly to that improvisational spirit and the birth of the American identity in arms.
