James Norrington's cutlass

"Sorry, Jack. But I have the key." "Sorry, William. But I have the chest." "And I have... a sword."

- Will Turner, Jack Sparrow, and James Norrington

This sword was a weapon owned and used by James Norrington after his resignation from the British Royal Navy.

History
After he failed to catch the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow, and lost his ship and his crew in the pursuit, James Norrington felt disgraced and left the Royal Navy. Though he kept his pistol, he left his ceremonial sword in his office in Port Royal. To replace the weapon which once symbolized his high rank and social status, he found an ordinary cutlass, a weapon fit more for a pirate than a distinguished Navy officer.

Eventually becoming a drunkard on Tortuga, James came to the Twelve Daggers tavern, where he tried to join the crew of the man who cost him his life, Jack Sparrow. However, one unlucky shot from his pistol caused a huge bar brawl, and he had to figh against several pirates.
