SH2003 -- Scottish Basket Hilt Backsword

Early highland swords almost invariably carried the double-edged “broadsword” blade, but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged “backsword” was at least equal in popularity.

Our Basket-Hilt Backsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England that dates from about 1760, has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. The blade is German in origin, but the hilt and blade are contemporary. The sword is available in both polished and antiqued finishes. Both hilts are crafted from stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, that of the SH2003 being polished while the SH2003N “antiqued” version has a museum-quality patina. The high-carbon blade of the SH2003N is also lightly “antiqued” to promote authenticity. The grips of the backswords are covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liners are crafted in fabric-covered leather. The scabbards are leather-covered, black in the case of the SH2003 and brown for the SH2003N.

SH2060 -- Scottish Claymore

Mainstay of the Highland warriors of the late 15th and 16th centuries, the Claymore had a uniquely styled hilt that sets it apart from other great swords of the period. Typically of hand-and-a-half length, this versatile weapon could deliver great sweeping slashes or powerful thrusts. Replicated from a surviving museum piece our Claymore is classic in its design, with distinctive sloping quillons terminating in quatrefoils and a high-collared quillon block with langets following the blade fuller. The leather-covered grip is topped by a globate pommel. The sword is available in both polished and antiqued finishes, the finish of the SH2060N closely replicating that of the original museum piece. The grips of the Claymore are leather-covered, black in the case of the SH2060 and brown for the SH2060N. Originally carried slung on the back, the Claymore matches perfectly with our OL1038/OL1038B back scabbard.

SH2065 -- "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 the Lowlander faithfully replicates a surviving museum piece. Though by far the largest sword ever offered by CAS Hanwei, the Lowlander is beautifully proportioned and balanced. The typically Scottish quarterfoils in the ring guards attest to the heritage of this imposing piece. The sword is available in both polished and antiqued finishes, the finish of the SH2065N closely replicating that of the original museum piece. The grips of the Lowlander are leather-covered with an overlaid leather binding. A wall mount is provided to allow the transplanted Gael to display his sword with pride.

Here is our Scottish "Murdoch" pistol. These are quite popular with Highland reenactors. They are a stylized copy of a civillian Scottish type pistol. We call them "Murdochs" today because Murdoch was one of the known makers of this style of pistol. Be sure to check out our Royal Highland Regiments Pistol to see what the enlisted men carried. Notice the fancy pierced and filed belt clip? All-metal Scottish pistols were carried by clipping them to a 1" leather strap that was slung over one shoulder and under the other. Many original civillian Scottish pistols were made with fancy faceted barrels.

$325.

Here is our new Royal Highland Regiments Pistol. These were issued to the Highland Regiments who were enlisted in service to England in the Seven Years War and later the American Revolution. They vary from the "Murdoch" pistols we are used to seeing as reproductions in that the barrels are round and tapered instead of faceted and instead of a silver oval on the grip there is an engraved rosette. Notice the simple belt clip instead of the fancy pierced type as seen on the Murdochs? The top of the barrel is marked "RHR" Typically the unit markings would go on top of the barrel and rack markings would go across the wrist of the pistol. Most of the original pistols you run into will be marked "Bissell". He operated in Birmingham, so the officially issued Scottish pistols were actually English. Notice the line engraving on the lockplate and cock. The cock has a bevelled edge.

 $325.

Here is our British Heavy Dragoon Pistol. This style of pistol dates back to the 1730's, but remained in use for nearly a century. The barrel is 12" long and the overall length is 19 1/2". Weight is 4 pounds, give or take. These typically run about .62 caliber smoothbore, but sometimes come in with larger or smaller bores. We measure each one as part of the inspection process and if you need a particular size, give us a call to see what is on hand.

Although these were issued to horse troopers and expected to be used in combat, they were made in the fancy Rococo style that was all the rage in Europe. There is raised carving around the lock and triggerguard. Designed at roughly the same time as the Long Land Brown Bess, this pistol incorporates a Brown Bess type "swell" of the stock at the entry pipe.

The brass buttcap has long ears, and there is a brass escution at the wrist which serves as a reinforcement. The sideplate is similar to the Long Land.

These reproductions have unmarked locks, but do have line engraving around the edges of the plate and cock.

George Augustus Eliott was a man who got things done. A Scotsman born in 1717, he rose through the ranks to become Aide-de-Camp to King George II by 1756. In 1759, raised and commanded the 1st Light Horse and thus began the concept of Light Dragoons in the British Army. At the time, commanders of irregular forces could outfit the men as they chose, and Elliot went about designing improved weapons and gear for his Troop of Horse. His legacy is the Elliot Light Dragoon Pistol, the Elliot Light Dragoon Carbine, and the Elliot Light Dragoon Saddle.
This is a light, handy pistol with a good feel to it when aiming. The barrel is 9" long and usually .62 caliber. They vary in bore diameter at times, and if you needed a particular bore size you should give us a call to see what is in stock. Overall length is 16 1/2".
The furniture is all brass and very similar to civilian pistols of the era. In fact, the triggerguard and sideplate are identical to the parts used on our Ketland Trade Pistol as Ketland also supplied parts and guns to the Board of Ordinance.

This is our 'Long Land Pattern' British musket, also known as the 'First Model Brown Bess'. It is the result of two years of research and development.
Under the Ordinance System, the British army expected 12 years of service out of a musket. Old muskets were turned in to be dismantled. Locks were reworked for use in other guns, barrels were sold as surplus, and brass furniture was recast as new sets in the newest pattern. By the Seven Years War period, 1728 style muskets would have long since been scrapped. As French and Indian War period reenactors, our goal was to replicate the proper musket for mid-18th century through early RevWar use.
Any Long Land musket with a steel rammer would have some sort of nosecap, even if it were converted from an earlier model. The 1742 pattern was basically a 1728 type musket (I.E. wooden rammer) that has been converted to use a steel rammer by changing out the front rammer pipe and adding a sheet brass nosecap. The 1728 type muskets would not have steel rammers without several modifications for it to fit, one modification is a spring added to the front pipe which would keep the rammer from sliding out, the other would be the addition of some kind of nosecap to keep the wooden rammer from buggering up the wood as you returned it to its pipes.

The 1756 pattern of musket uses a double-bridled lock, which allows the use of a flashguard. The 1728 type lock, with no bridle on the frizzen, makes it very difficult to securely attach a flashguard without modifying the lockplate. The 1756 pattern uses a steel, button headed rammer so therefore it uses the cast brass nosecap and long front pipe of the 1756 type muskets that would have seen service here. It also has the correct triggerguard that was introduced in mid-century and stayed the standard for the rest of the 1700's.
Accessories for the Brown Bess, such as sling, hammerstall, flashguard, bayonet and period style tools are available separately.
