50" GIANT SCOTTISH HIGHLANDER CLAYMORE SWORD W/SHEATH Brand New in the Box The Scottish Claymore was usually identified with the Scots as a symbol of pride and strength. The Claymore, or "Claidheamh-mor" (Great Sword) in Gaelic is a two handed broad sword utilized by the Scottish Highlander throughout several centuries. Used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from 1500 t0 1650 and still in use as late as the Rebellion of 1745, the two-handed Claymore seems to be an offshoot of earlier broadswords as they were developed into great-swords. Widely feared because its lightness made it faster in combat than its European counterparts, this sword developed a distinctive style of cross guard with down-sloping arms that ended in spatulate swellings. The Claymore, from about 1520, shows the true Scottish form which was finally developed. It was said that the bearer of a Claymore needed no shield (how could he carry one, anyway?) because the reach of the sword provided its own protection. This is the most stunning 2-handed Claymore of 16th century design that you may ever come across, barring an original antique! The blade of this sword is definitely not flimsy like others out t and the balance excels over others in today's market, all for an astonishing price!
