Description Item Specs   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. Our Paul Chen Basket-Hilt Broadsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England, carries a typical Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century. It is likely that the blade of the original sword, marked “Andrea Ferara”, was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as basket designs were refined. The hilt is crafted in stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, while the blade is forged in high-carbon steel. The grip is covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liner, like the original, is crafted in fabric-covered sueded leather. The scabbard is leather-covered. Overall: 39 3/4" Blade Length: 33 1/2" Handle Length: 6" Weight: 3lb 1oz Point of Balance: 5" Point of Harmonics: 23" Width at Guard: 1.79" Width at Tip: 1.19" Thickness at Guard: .18" Thickness at Tip: .08" Blade Steel: 1566 Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece. Features Authentic replica of Museum Piece Fully functional Scabbard included
