Cutlass with basket hilt?

Thanks all.

A lot of American revolutionary swords came from French designs or from damaged & or adapted French swords. I have a french dragoon 4-slot sword with the two sidebars cut off that has provenances from a prominent UK collector's estate to have been modified and used for service in the revolution. This will fit in nicely with it.

(Got them both cheap because no one here knew what they were, but I suspected.)
