Cutlass
Cutlass, the cutlass belonged to C.P.O. Barnaby (active 1919). The cutlass consists of a brass hilt, which is cast in one piece with the 'stepped' pommel, knuckle-bow and upturned quillon, which has a ball-shaped finial. The grip is grooved. The steel blade is curved, flat-backed, with a narrow fuller running two-thirds of the length of the blade, which has an almost hatchet-shaped point. The black leather scabbard has a top locket and chape. There is a suspended crown and brown leather suspension buckles attached to the top locket of the scabbard. The scabbard slots through the brown leather suspension buckles which bears the inscription 'EDWARD JONES, C & M 1919', although this is faint. The cutlass was received with other personal effects, which belonged to C.P.O. Barnaby.
