British Basket Hilt Cavalry
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to fully ID this baby. On p. 147 of Neuman's there appears a similar design, on p. 46 of Wither's there's an identical sword. He IDs same as a 1750 English Cavalry Basket Hilt. The blade doesn't look mid 18th C, yet I have seen similar ones on regulation british-scottish swords of 19th C fin-de-siecle. No marks evident. Any ideas? Best M |
