British Naval Brigade with edged weapons in 25mm?

Does anybody make 25mm British Naval Brigade figures with edged weapons? As a last resort I could use the open handed figures from the Old Glory Boxer Rebellion Naval Artillery Crew pack, but I'd rather not buy 20 figures when I only need seven. Are there any other options?

What date are you looking for and are you looking for sailors in a temperate or tropical climate?

Sorry I should have specified, they’re going to be deck crew on a Space
1889 gunboat. I’ll probably paint them with blue blouses and white trousers.

If you can find them the old Parroom Station 28mm figures have some British sailors armed with cutlasses. They are OOP now, but they crop up every now and again. Found an image of them on Ebay. The pic does not do them justice they are nice figures.
British Aero Naval Brigade:
Sadly I only have a couple of the officers. Here's one of mine with some paint slapped on very badly:

For deck crew look at Pulp's Royal Navy figures in their British Empire range. Unarmed deck crew plus a also a pack of sailors with rifles.

Thanks for all the suggestions. The Paroom Station figures look best for my purposes, the ones armed with cutlasses would be perfect, but are of course unavailable. Maybe I'll try converting some rifle carrying figures to cutlasses. It looks like it might just be possible, but not easy, with the Perry Naval Brigade 'running at trail' figures.

Foundry does a boarding party. I've used them for Lift Boat crew in the past.

Redoubt do a pack of ACW naval landing party sailors, which will double-up nicely for Royal Navy. Paint them all blue or all white and they should look fine.

Empress Miniatures do some nice figures in their New Zealand range.

More good suggestions! The Redoubt sailors are the closest to what I was looking for, except for the headgear, which I don't recognize. Maybe some headswaps are in order.

Ahhh, thanks. Was it primarily the US Civil War navies that wore that headgear?

US navies in the 1860s copied Royal Navy uniform, hence the picture I posted.
