Lot 167
18th Century Scottish Regiment Sword. This fabulous piece was owned by Scottish nobility c. 1780-1812, having been used by a leader of the famous Scottish Royal Highland Regiment the "Black Watch", an elite military regiment whose history stretches back three centuries.
The forged steel blade measures 32" and is in fine condition(appears to have been polished at one time) with its original engravings and "Black Watch" logo still visible. The grip (4¼") is Ray Skin and the intricate iron work of the hilt (5 ¾") that surrounds it is solidly intact. A 1/16" leather strip is missing between the bottom of the grip and the guard, otherwise this an amazingly preserved piece of Scottish history.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
