Not a cutlass style, but definitely present during the age of sail:

Pistol Dueling 4
This was a common way for gentlemen to settle their differences for years. It would be disgraceful to run or try to dodge, so the duelist was always firing at a stationary target, thus Guns Sport (Pistol), rather than Guns (Pistol). Usually each duelist would get one shot from a predetermined distance. The more experienced duelist would usually let his opponent fire a rushed inaccurate shot, so that he can take careful aim.

Skills: Pistol Sport, Games (Dueling), Savoir-Fare (High Society)
Techniques: Targeted Attack (Pistol Shot/Vitals)
Cinematic Skills: Zen Marksmanship
Cinematic Techniques: None
Perks: Schtick (Doesn’t Flinch when shot at, +1 to any subsequent Intimidation rolls),

Optional Abilities: Fearless, Unfazeable
