SOLD OUT

Scottish Basket hilt Broadsword (Claymore) and steel sheath - Includes full red velvet and leather hand guard and steel sheath/scabbard.

There seems to be evidence of both the two handed sword and the basket hilt being referred to as claymores. The research of renowned sword historian, Claude Blair, is paraphrased for this matter. The first instance in which a written usage of this word is after the beginning of the 1715 uprising, coming into much wider use during the uprising in 1745.
