Scottish Culloden Basket Claymore broad sword - 5160 This is a significant Scotch claymore in the style of the Venitian schiavona broadsword. The sword is 40 inches in overall length with a blade length of 35 inches. The blade is a full 1 1/2 inches at the hilt and tapers to a point. It also has two fullers to help reduce the weight on the back side of this massive blade. The hilt is a generous five inch brass basket with a well appointed red velvet lining. This basket will fit equally well in both the right and left hands. The leather wrapped hilt has a beautiful brass wound accent wire. The pommel ring is further decorated with a red five inch fringe. The brass basket has heart-shaped motifs in the style of the Culloden broadsword (early 1700). The sword's scabbard is leather covered with a button hanger on the brass locket. It also has a brass chape.Solid, made by Deepeeka, one of the best known names in reproduction weapons. Head and shoulders better then the cheap Pakistani or Chinese show pieces sold at similar prices. Hammer forged, constructed with a full length tang, forged tang (not welded). The blades are 5160 carbon steel, heat treated to a medium, working temper. I consider it strong enough for stage and re-enactor contact but would not recommend it for full contact live steel combat. As with any weapon, the suitability or unsuitability for any use is the responsibility of the user. No use whatsoever is endorsed. The sword is new, no problems. Blade is not sharp as shipped but can be sharpened. NO RESERVE We are International shipping experts! See /international.htm for complete details. Why are we so cheap?
