Scottish 1828 Pattern Basket-Hilted Highland Broadsword

An interesting example of a British Army Scottish Highland regiment’s basket-hilted broadsword.  Of 1828 Pattern and with typical nickel-plated basket hilt with felt and chamois leather liner and tassels – leather grip bound with silver twistwire.  Looks to be of 20th Century manufacture.  What makes this interesting are the markings to the blade forte which include British Army sold out of service opposing arrows and two stamped crowns.  Could be a regimental issue sword for NCO’s that would have been available for general use within the regiment and carried on ceremonial occasions.  With very clean, fullered blade.  Complete with nickel-plated scabbard.  Blade length is 33 inches (39.5 inches overall).
