I was wondering if anyone has one of "The Mad Piper" (Donnie Shearer's) "Jacobite hilt" Scottish basket-hilted broadswords? I always really liked the look of this sword on his website, and I would really like to see if I could find some pictures of one of these swords in order to have a custom sword made with the same hilt pattern. Also I would be willing to buy one of these if anyone has one that they would be willing to sell.

Thanks!

I have a Mad Piper Basket-hilt Saber among my collection of reproduction claymores, probably not the same thing you are looking for, though. Perhaps you could find a similar pattern in a historical piece; there are several in the albums section of this site, for example.
