    What do you make of this Nick?
    I think it's probably a blade from a basket hilted broadsword. It's 35" inches tip to hilt. Was originally in the possession of Mrs W's grandfather who lived right on top of the site of the battle of Bannockburn. Has obviously been burried for a long time as it was thick with rust when I got it. I've cleaned up one side and can see some etching as well as part of a maker's name near the hilt.

    [size=large]Nick's having some computer problems atm, Dave, and hasn't been able to get on line much. But we're hoping that will be rectified very soon.

    Amazing looking sword, btw![/size]
