A veritable symbol of Scotland itself, the Basket-Hilted Broadsword was used for centuries by highland warriors. It had an elaborate, cage-like guard for defense and a heavy blade for offense. The ‘’Broadsword’’ was named by its comparison to comparatively thin rapiers and later smallswords. A good cut-and-thrust sword, it was often combined with an off-hand targe or dirk. The basket-hilted broadsword in its distinctive form originated in the mid 18th century and saw use through the Napoleonic Wars. It is still the ceremonial sword of the Highlander regiments of the British military.   Related Items
