A FINE AND VERY RARE EARLY HIGHLAND OFFICER`S SILVER HOOPED-BAR BASKET-HILTED BACKSWORD, LONDON 1745, MAKER`S MARK PROBABLY TB with straight blade double-edged towards the point, formed with a pair of long fullers on each face and a further short fuller on each face of the ricasso, silver hilt of rounded bars, comprising down-turned oval quillon, basket-guard of rounded bars carrying four oval hooped frameworks each filled with three moulded crosses arranged vertically, a large oval so-called rein aperture, all joined by short moulded bars, flattened bun-shaped pommel, sharkskin-covered grip bound with plaited silver wire and `Turk`s heads`, early doe-skin liner, and in untouched condition throughout 85.7 cm; 33 ¾ in blade Provenance Sir Bevil Grenville, by tradition Gratiana Knocker Captain L. C. E. Ayre, C. B. E., R. N. (1918-41) Exhibited Plymouth City Museum Swords with hilts of this form have been ascribed to a date range of circa 1760-75, based on examples shown in illustrations such as that worn by General the Hon. William Gordon in the uniform of the Queens Own Royal Regiment of Highlanders by Batoni, dated to 1760. However, hallmarked or dated hilts of this type are notably rare and the present hilt might suggest a significantly earlier date for the group. Hilts with hooped-bar basket-guards, also called `pinch-of-snuff` are discussed in detail in volume six of the forthcoming book on the history and development of the basket-hilt by Baron Earlshall.
