I have a cutlass that came from my husbands grandfather. It was supposed to have previously belonged to a crew member on the Victory. There is also a mark pressed into the surface on the leather scabbard, looks like
an arrow pointing upwards or maybe an V upside down, and a number underneath, maybe 30, or BO, or BC very
difficult to tell. You can see it slightly in the photo below, even with a magnifying glass it is impossible to read.
Anything you can tell me about it would be most helpful.

I just stayed in an old hotel in Washington D.C. which had two very large commemorative prints framed...one of the first voyage of the HMS Victory (full sail) and one of the last voyage. Have you ever seen these and any idea if prints might be available somewhere? They are really beautiful.

Thanks,
Sheila Owen
