It was usually partnered with the Scottish targe shield and was used to devastating effect during the Highland Charge! After the rebellion had been suppressed, the wearing of Scottish Basket Hilt swords, synonymous with Highland dress, was outlawed. However, the sword was adopted by officers of the Highland regiments in the 19th century. Our Jacobite Basket Hilt Sword features a brass basket with red cloth lining. The hand forged high carbon steel blade has a blunt edge and is housed in a leather covered wood scabbard.
