British Canadian Army Highland Officers Scottish Regiment Basket Hilt Sword WW1




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:60319Modified Item: No
Original Description:
For sale is very fine authentic and non-restored example of an original Scottish made basket hilt sword, as would have been carried by officers in various Scottish Highland and Lowland Regiments. The sword was manufactured in Glasgow Scotland by Moore and Taggart whose shop was on Albion Street as is noted by the makers markings on the ricasso. Moore & Taggart were well known providers of regulation swords such as this.  Very intricate and well preserved et...chings and inlays on thedouble edged blade clearly visible and well preserved. Brass colour proving marked in upper ricasso. The wire bond shark skin grip is very well preserved as is the basket liner. The moron colour frill is very full bodies and still securely attached. Some very minor spots of light surface discolouration / corrosion on the lower end of the blade as noted. No efforts to remove them have been taken. The leather sheathed scabbard as would have been worn with the Sam Brown is worn badly in places as the attached images show but solid overall aside from its aesthetic failings. The sword measures about 102 cm or 40" in overall length. The images should speak for themselves though I'm happy to send more images if required. The sword weighs 1.5 kg before packaging. This sword goes with what was an almost complete full dress uniform grouping which is also for sale at this time on ebay so please check my other auctions as many hard to find related items of regalia are also available.
