FOR SALE: Early 18th Century Dutch Hanger / Cutlass by ODF $950
This Hanger was made by Kyle Willard of Old Dominion Forge, one of the most respected makers of 17th/18th century knives and swords.
Kyle says, " this piece was inspired by an early hanger that I saw at the Frasier Museum in Louisville."
It has a simple clam shell design guard with an ebony grip. The slightly curved blade is 24" long with one fuller and is 1 1/8th inches wide.
The pommel and grip are fairly typical of the type used by several countries during the 1690-1730 time frame (English, French, German etc.), and the blade is marked with the VOC of the Dutch East India Company
