Late Scottish Claymore:
Our personal favorite, the Late Scottish Claymore is similar to our popular SR014
Claymore, but boasts all-steel fittings. This Claymore is one that any Clansman
would have been proud to own. Based on a 16th century museum piece and combining
great size with graceful lines, the Claymore was used with devastating effect by
highlanders of old. Originally carried slung on the back, the Claymore matches
perfectly with our OL1038 Black or Brown back scabbard on our Belts & Bladric
page. Item #SR077 MEASUREMENTS:

Basket Hilt Backsword :
The Basket-Hilt Backsword dates from about 1760. This version is a replica from the
Royal Armouries in England and has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned
beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. It
is likely that the blade of the original sword was made in Germany a century earlier and
re-hilted as basket designs were refined. An upscale reproduction of this popular
sword, our Basket-Hilt Backsword has a wire-wrapped ray skin handle and cloth-covered
leather basket liner, just like the original. A practice version of this
sword is available on our "Practice Swords" page. Item #SH2003 MEASUREMENTS:

Rob Roy Targe:
Made for the re-enactor and decorator, the Rob Roy Targe replicates a piece dating to the
'45 Jacobite rising. Construction is tooled leather over wood with a goatskin backing and
brass decorations. A traditonal spike screws into the central boss, with a spike
sheath attached to the back of the targe. The arm strap and hand grip are leather covered.
Like the original, the targe is about 19" in diameter. Item
#AH1084 MEASUREMENTS: Discontinued. 2
