Early highland swords almost invariably carried the double-edged â€œbroadswordâ€ blade, but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged â€œbackswordâ€ was at least equal in popularity. The Basket-Hilt Backsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England that dates from about 1760, has an unusual basket with twin engraved â€œhorned beastieâ€ plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. The blade is German in origin, but the hilt and blade are contemporary. The sword has a polished finish. The hilt is crafted from stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, that of the SH2003 being polished. The blade is a high-carbon blade. The grips of the backswords are covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liners are crafted in fabric-covered leather. The scabbards are leather-covered, black in the case of the SH2003.
