Description

This Subordinate Forestry Cutlass is a good, heavy, piece by Alcoso in Solingen. Brass finish. The brass has a nice, dull patination, and is attractive the way it is. It features a "D" guard, which ends at the top in the shape of a hoof. The "D" guard runs through the cross-guard area, having only double lined decoration on both sides. The quillon end after the cross-guard is also in the shape of a hoof, having hand enhancing. The ferrule above appears to be built into the "D" guard design, and also has sets of lined decoration. Below the cross-guard area is a clamshell with fluted surfaces. The left side of the clamshell angles upward and ends in a teardrop.

The grip plates on this cutlass are exceptional. Both of these grip plates have been decorated with matching, brass acorns.

The scabbard has outstanding, supple, black leather. This leather shell is decorated with twin lines which run the length of both surfaces, and is sewn up the rear. It shows very little age or usage. Attached to the leather shell are two matching, brass, scabbard mounts. These mounts are plain, except for decorative lines on the obverse only. The mounts have scalloped edges where they meet the leather shell, and they are retained with staples in the usual manner.

The blade of this example measures about 30 cm in length. The etched obverse starts out with a number of floral designs, and then portrays a dear jumping in a forest glen. The reverse blade has floral designs, and then depicts a dog stalking foxes. Further on, are more floral designs. The etch is in good condition. The spine is etched with laurel leaves running down its length. On the blade's reverse is the logo of the Alcoso firm. The original, green, blade buffer shows little  age.

An interesting forestry cutlass here, and certainly of high quality.
