1828 Pattern Scottish Highland Officer’s Basket-hilted Broadsword - Reproduction

[Bruce Scott]

I suspect that the military Heritage swords are made somewhere other than Ontario, but the thread you link to is anything but conclusive; some very vague speculation, as I read it. How did you get "appears that" from that thread?

These posts:

Jonathan Hopkins: "The MH swords are made by either Weapon Edge or Universal Swords"


Edward Lee: "These are indeed made by Universal swords."

And here are the links to the makers:

Both of those guys are speculating, they don't know; they certainly don't provide any compelling evidence to support the assertion. Did you even look at those websites? Both have but one picture of their sword, and in both cases the blade doesn't match that of the Military Heritage sword.

Now, it may well be that one of these makers is making the Military Heritage sword under contract, but one can't tell that by an examination of these websites or the speculation of guys on the internet.

I'll post a review when I get mine.
