This Hanwei Scottish basket-hilt backsword replica combines a single-edged blade with an elaborate dark steel guard. Curving bars, circular piercings, and twin plaques depicting horned beasts enclose a leather-covered liner edged with brown fabric fringe. The antiqued finish brings out the guard's sculptural openwork, while twin parallel fullers run along much of the blade. Hanwei based this design on a sword dating to about 1760 in the Royal Armouries collection in England. The blade's repeated "ANDREA FARARA" inscriptions form part of the replica's historical styling. A scabbard fitted with a dark steel throat and chape is included. This sword measures approximately 40.25" overall, with a 33.75" blade; the hilt spans approximately 5.5" x 5.75".
