Remembering History: Pre-Culloden Scottish baskethilt sword c.1690-1720Good chance this sword was used in the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The guard has the "S" design which stood for "Stewart" (noble family in Scotland) These swords were often stored in the thatched roofs to keep the British from finding their weapons.The handle is either horn or wood, and appears to be rehandled in the 18th c. untouched condition. Blade is 32 3/4 inches. 38 inches overall. Blade is still quite sharp.
