SH2003 - Scottish Basket Hilt Backsword
It is likely that the blade of the original sword was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as
basket designs were refined. The Basket-Hilt Backsword (SH2003,SH2003N - antiqued) dates from about
1760 and has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers
running most of its length. Again the original blade is German in origin but the blade and hilt are
contemporary. The SH2003 and SH2003N have wire-wrapped ray skin handles and cloth-covered leather
basket liners.
