Scottish basket hilt ca. 1700
A Scottish basket hilt broadsword with 'S' bars incorporated in the hilt. The rounded thin bars indicative of the Stirling smiths. Leather grip with a single thin wire wrap. 31" blade marked with four Wundes king's heads each side of blade, possibly attributed to Peter Wundes the Elder (1580-1630) or Peter the Younger (1630-1685).
Based on the pommel style and primitive heart punches, it appears to date to the first quarter of the 18th c. Last edited by M ELEY; 10th December 2019 at 07:57 PM. Reason: edit |
