A VERY RARE SCOTTISH LOWLAND LEFT HAND DAGGER, 32.25cm sharply tapering hollow ground cruciform blade with pronounced raised medial ridge to either side, the crossguard of characteristic form with down turned lobed quillons angled slightly forwards, the base plate of the crossguard formed to receive the cruciform shoulders of the blade in the Scottish manner, the half basket guard composed of flattened rounded bars with lower oval side guard set with a sprung pierced plate, this guard supports the three upper guard bars secured to the ovoid pommel with a single screw, the two fore bars set with further bars in the form of a stylised saltire, wire bound leather covered wooden grip. This dagger is a scarce example of a small grouping of similar arms described as Lowland Scottish and features in a detailed discussion by Claude Blair in his chapter The Early Basket Hilt in Britain which formed part of David Caldwell's publication Scottish Weapons and Fortifications 1100-1800, see figures 129 and 131 on pages 228 and 230. Please also see figure 279 on page 394 of The Scottish Basket Hilted Sword Volume I 1450-1600 The Baron of Earlshall. While stylistically different as far as the composition of the hilt is concerned, another example from this scarce grouping of daggers was sold as lot 437 on the 24th of April 2018 at C&T Auctioneers realising £6,820 - the blade, side guard and quillons clearly link these two daggers to the same grouping, while the example offered here has the distinction of a part basket hilt as discussed above.

A RARE JACOBITE PERIOD BASKET HILT ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN ALLAN OF STIRLING, 77cm back sword blade incised with various marks to include an orb and cross, characteristic hilt composed of flattened rounded bars united by three heart-pierced junction plates, each with further circular piercings, circle and dot and linear decoration, rear transverse S-shaped fillers each with clipped and flattened foot and a chiselled flourish at the midpoint and both obliquely mounted, lower filler of fleur-de-lis form and heart-pierced, spirally fluted wooden grip, faceted heart-shaped pommel. See illustrations E5 on page 89 and E3 on page 86 of British Basket-Hilted Swords by Cyril Mazansky. This appears to be an entirely original unification of a riding sword and a Scottish basket hilt, probably created during the period of the Jacobite Rebellion.
