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 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. This sword features a wire-wrapped ray skin handle and cloth-covered leather basket liner.
