Mac;
Is it possible that this 10 pound claymore is a 19th century reproduction ? The weight in particular seems excessive. :eek: |

I love the way Rob carves the knotwork into some of his Claymore handles. Are there historical examples of this? Sure is purty. :D |

This one is mine, I believe -- the one I bought from the Armour Class shop when I was in Glasgow last year. |

Mac, a question for about one of the pics you posted. There is one of an older gentleman holding a Claymore and at the bottom it calls out that he is from Morristown, NJ. Do you have any additional information on that sword? The reason I ask is because I work one town over and live all of about 15 minutes away from there.
I would love a chance to see it up close if possible. |

Bless the very bones o' ye, McDonald! Fine thread, gentlemen....fine. The Scottish claymore is one of the least studied, and probably least understood of all medieval swords. You all should take a bow. Excellence..........pure excellence. ...mcm. |

Apart from the wonderful pics and very informative discussion of Claymores I have to say I loved the Highland Charge credit card pics you posted, Mac. Made me laugh and was very well received amongst colleagues in the financial sector of London. Great stuff! Daniel |

Sure enough, on the last page of the Hunterian website, I found the recreation, shown below. Cool. |
