United Kingdom. A Scottish Basket Hilt Cavalry Sword, c.1775 consisting of a blue enamelled Romanian Cross with clusters of nine gilt rays in eac more often than notA very nice and rare example of a horsemans basket hilted broad sword made for an Officer in a Scottish Regiment of Dragoons, likely in the mid to late second half of the 18th century. These sword variants were issued by the Board of Ordnance to British regiments mainly with Scottish associations and were manufactured in the traditional Scottish style. This particular example features an 81 cm double edged blade and is of fine quality. With A. Ferara
