Original Scottish Victorian Era Basket Hilt Sword Francotte-Martini Rifles & Parts and the facsimile signatureOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is a great Scottish Basket Hilt sword dating from the Victorian era. The sword does not appear to have any markings but is certainly from the period, with a long 37 blade.
