Although Basket-Hilt swords appeared throughout Britain from the mid-sixteenth century on, their association with the seventeenth and eighteenth century Scottish highlander has become legendary. Early highland swords almost invariably carried the double-edged ''broadsword'' blade but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged ''backsword'' was at least equal in popularity. Paul Chen Scottish Basket Hilt Broadsword is replicated from period pieces in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England. Features a sharpened carbon steel blade, fully tempered and battle ready. The steel basket guard is a typical Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century lined in soft cloth. The grip is wood covered in ray skin and wire wrapped. Includes a wood scabbard with black leather wrap and steel accents.
