Product Description
Basket Hilt Backsword, Antiqued from CAS Hanwei: 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. Our Basket Hilt Backsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England that dates from about 1760, has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. The blade is German in origin, but the hilt and blade are contemporary. This version of the sword features an antiqued finish. The hilt is crafted in stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, and is finished with a museum quality patina. The high carbon blade is also lightly “antiqued” to promote authenticity. The grip is covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liner, like the original, is crafted in fabric covered leather. The scabbard is leather covered. See model SH2002 for the new finished version of this sword. The Basket Hilt Backsword, Antiqued is a Fully Functional and Battle Ready Scottish Sword.
