Politically incorrect in the US, quite a collectible over here

Shortened Albion Gaddhjalt with scabbard. The scabbard looks like Jesse Bailey's work (I believe he's the seller, too):

Hi Chris
That 'Harvey' Dragoon baskethilt has been relisted (guess his first attempt did not follow Ebay's rules or somesuch?), so here is the new link to it : Horseman baskethilt
A nice looking piece, Mac
P.S. I wonder if his weight figure is correct on this, ?, as 5 lbs. would be quite the beastie !

It's not too far off. I've handled an identical Samuel Harvey and it was quite the boat anchor. Poorly balanced, too. The weight was all in the hilt. It felt.... weird, to say the least. But it's an actual antique and was actually made for battlefield use... I don't know if it was 5 lbs straight up, but it was close.... probably needless to say, but that Samuel Harvey was the worst handling antique sword I've ever handled.... basket was huge, too, almost Windlass-big....

Yup, I remember you talking about that one ! (pic attached)
Very similar, except for the higher pommel & blade, Mac
That's the one, exactly (from Pat Tougher's collection).
Oh yeah, it had a real long ricasso....

I like that one, Steve!
Another sword (c.1100) from the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/EFTIS-UNIQUE-Iron-Brass-I...dZViewItem
I tend to like a lot of the things EFTIS comes up with, but his expertise is ancient antiques, not arms and armour, so his descriptions need to be taken with a pinch of salt. The sword he claims as a "rare English basket" isn't rare, and isn't English. It's a pretty normal and fairly common N. European/German style, and dates from the late 16-early 1700s (see Neumanns' "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" for many photos of this type of sword). The pierced plates appear to be modern replacements. However, it's still a good, solid antique sword.

Yes, the thumb ring gives it away as being continental (but I still like it!).
some 18th century scottish scabbards: http://stores.ebay.com/War-Department-British...QpZ5QQtZkm
Not entirely sure what it is, but I bought it! :p
