I write to draw your attention and that of your members to the imaginative and important project being coordinated by the Heritage Arms Society, South Australia. This aims to collect and publish information about British cutlasses, lead cutters and singlesticks. The intention is to generate a reference source containing details of as many of these weapons as possible. Clearly, this relies on attracting contributions from as many collectors as possible to maximise the number of weapons included in this survey. A template is used to collect information on each weapon in a standard format, supplemented by photographs taken against a white background. If any of your members would like to find out more about this very worthwhile project and to participate, the coordinator Cathey Brimage, who is the Secretary and Public Officer of the Society, would be pleased to hear from them. Her email address is:

Yours sincerely,
John McGrath
