Bronze-hilted Scottish Claymore

  • Original: Early 16th century Scotland

This one-of-a-kind two-handed sword of the Scottish highlander boasts a fullered blade with extended handle. Bronze furniture throughout consists of of a wheel pommel, downward sloping arms terminated with quatrefoils, and langets reaching from the guard down the center of the blade. The hardwood grip is accented with bronze tacks. All the furniture is cast from a Victorian-made reproduction of a historic highland claymore.
