1828 Pattern Scottish Highland Officer’s Basket-hilted Broadsword - Reproduction
Of course, I'd love to have the real thing, but the market for these is just under $1,000 for a rough one, to past $2,000 for an antique. I think a brand new one can be had for about $1,800. Still quite dear.
I just ordered a cheap, Pakistani-made reproduction, for only $55! Yikes! I wonder what it will look like.
I was wondering, has anyone had a go at turning one of these into a good representation of a real one, perhaps with some metalwork, nickle plating, fabricating a white buckskin and red silk lining, etc.?
Any good books or websites for doing this?
Thanks,
jv
