WE-Claymore Lowlander SH2065.jpg (16713 bytes) Lowlander Two-Handed Great Sword :   Wielded with untamed ferocity on many a Gaelic battlefield, the massive Lowlander sword vividly illustrates the might of the Scots of old.  Known as “Slaughter-Swords” in the 16th century, these were the swords of choice for Scottish mercenaries of the period, and at close to six feet long our Lowlander faithfully replicates a surviving museum piece. Though by far the largest sword ever offered by Hanwei, the Lowlander is beautifully proportioned and balanced. The typically Scottish quatrefoils in the ring guards attest to the heritage of this imposing piece. A wall mount is provided to allow the transplanted Gael to display his sword with pride.  While fully functional, this sword makes a striking addition to any wall display.  We've combined it with iron torch holders and our Heraldic shield (Chainmail and Armour page)  to make a stunning entry to our library.   Item #SH2065

WE-Claymore SR077.jpg (23151 bytes) 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

WE-Scottish Single Hand SR030.jpg (53804 bytes) Scottish Single Hand Sword:  The single-hand Scottish Sword is patterned after 15th century models originating in the west highlands and the western isles.  The wheel pommel, lobed quillons and short langet are typical of surviving pieces. The hilt has a macassar ebony grip and solid brass fittings.  Comes with a top grain leather sheath.  This is one of the easiest single hand swords to handle.  Although it has the length of larger swords, the Scottish single hand sword was faster than most others of the time, including the larger and bulkier broadswords and claymores.  This sword is available with either brass or steel fittings.  Brass version is shown here.   Item #SR030 Brass or #PC-54-030 Steel

WE-Scottish Backsword SH2003.jpg (36631 bytes) 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

WE-Sgian Dubh Damascus SH2029.jpg (28787 bytes) Damascus Sgian Dubh:   The Damascus Sgian Dubh rivals those of the Victorian era.  Unlike other modern Sgian Dubhs that are often merely decorative, our SH2029 is both handsome and fully functional, with a high-carbon fileworked damascus blade, full length tang and a basket-weave hardwood grip topped by a royal purple crystal. Complimented by a hardwood sheath and embossed fittings, the Sgian Dubh is a piece that any highlander would be proud to carry.  A perfect match to our Scottish Regimental Dirk .  Item #SH2029

WE-Stuart Targe.jpg (36576 bytes) Stuart Targe:   Made for the re-enactor and decorator, the Stuart Targe replicates a piece dating to the '45 Jacobite rising and the original is said to have been made as a gift for Charles Edward Stuart, a.k.a Bonnie Prince Charlie.  Construction is tooled leather over wood with a goatskin backing and sterling silver plated decorations with an antiqued finish.   While highly decorated, this shield is fully functional.  You can polish the silver to a high shine or leave it with the antiqued look.  The central spike is removable and stores in a leather sheath on the back of the shield.   The shield boss is a stylized medusa's head with the mouth serving as the spike holder.  The picture is overexposed and does not show all the detail and texture of the silver arms.  The arm strap and hand grip are leather covered.  Like the original, this targe is about 19" in diameter.   Item #AH1037
