The Basket-Hilt Backsword dates from about
1760 and has an unusual basket with twin engraved "horned beastie"
plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. Again the
original blade is German in origin but the blade and hilt are contemporary. It
has wire-wrapped ray skin handles and cloth-covered leather basket liners.
