Inspired by the famous Eglinton “Pinch of Snuff” broadsword, this Scottish Highland officer’s sword reflects the elegance and authority of early 19th century basket-hilted designs. Known for its distinctive steel basket guard and straight double-edged blade, the Highland broadsword was both a battlefield weapon and a symbol of rank.

This replica features a finely crafted basket hilt with pierced detailing, paired with a long, well-balanced blade suited for controlled cutting and thrusting. The leather-wrapped grip and traditional construction complete its authentic appearance.

A striking piece for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Scottish military history.

The Scottish basket-hilted broadsword was widely used from the 17th through early 19th centuries, particularly by Highland regiments and officers. By the early 1800s, these swords had become as much symbols of identity and prestige as practical weapons.

The “Pinch of Snuff” name is associated with a well-known 1822 duel involving the Earl of Eglinton, giving this style of sword a unique place in later Highland history.
