Scottish sword

[Lee]

I find the hilt engraving to be somewhat convincing for 18 or 19th century Scotland and I note a fracture in the brass. If this is a genuine antique, and I hope that it is, it would appear more likely to be a 'civilian' example.

However, thinreadline is most correct in noting that Scottish things are a treacherous area rife with forgeries and fakes and requiring utmost caution.
