-

-
Russian M1881 Dragoon Saber

The Scottish basket-hilted sword is one of the most distinctive and visually striking sword forms ever produced — its elaborate cage of metal bars protecting the hand while its broad double-fullered blade delivered powerful cuts. Developed in the 16th and 17th centuries in the Scottish Highlands, it became the defining sidearm of the Highland warrior and remained in use through Culloden and beyond, surviving into the dress uniform tradition that continues to this day.
-
Culloden Basket-Hilted Broadsword
SKU: AH3240A basket-hilted broadsword in the tradition carried by Highland clansmen at the 1746 Battle of Culloden — worth correcting directly here, since older listing copy for this piece mistakenly associated it with Napoleonic-era heavy cavalry, a full half-century and an entirely different conflict removed from Culloden itself.

Bruce Two-Handed Sword
SKU: AH3417A massive-hilted two-handed broadsword named for Robert the Bruce, King of Scots — worth noting the sword type itself became popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, a century or more after Bruce’s own 14th century reign, so this reflects the broader tradition associated with his legacy rather than his own personal blade.
-

-
Twisted Bastard Sword
SKU: AH3401RA hand-and-a-half sword built with a short primary grip that lets the fingers of the second hand rest on the blade’s forte just above the guard, giving extra leverage exactly when a thrust or bind called for it — the exact grip ambiguity that gave the type its name.
-
Sikh Kirpan – Sacred Ceremonial Blade
SKU: AH3468The Kirpan is one of the Five Ks of Sikhism — the Panj Kakars — the five articles of faith worn by initiated Sikhs as expressions of their commitment to the principles of the Khalsa.

Greek Xiphos – Alfedena Type with Bone Hilt
SKU: AH4214NA companion piece to the Campovalano Xiphos, based on finds from the nearby Alfedena necropolis — another Iron Age cemetery in the Samnite territory of central Italy where Greek cultural influence produced a distinctive local sword tradition. The bone hilt and pierced iron facing reflect the same construction tradition as the Campovalano examples, confirming the regional character of this specific Iron Age sword type.
-
Greek Xiphos – Bone Hilt Hoplite Sword
SKU: AH4231A hoplite-style Greek Xiphos with a full bone hilt and wooden scabbard — twenty-nine inches overall in the tradition of the 6th–5th century BC Campovalano type, its full tang construction sandwiched in bone providing the traditional organic hilt material documented in the finest surviving Greek sword originals.
-
The full-length version of the La Tène Celtic anthropomorphic sword — one of the finest and most archaeologically grounded Celtic sword forms, its human-figure hilt combining with a broad slashing blade to produce the definitive weapon of the Late Iron Age Celtic warrior.

A reconstruction of an early 15th century sword associated with the Royal Armouries collection, dated to 1432, featuring a distinctive finger guard and a slender, thrust-oriented blade — a design marking the transition toward more specialised thrusting swords of the Late Medieval period.
