This elegant broadsword, inspired by an original from the early 19th century, epitomizes the distinctive style and valour of the Scottish Highland officers who carried it.

Deepeeka’s replica features an authentic basket hilt design, complete with intricate steelwork and a rich blackened leather grip that mirrors the original’s craftsmanship. The blade is forged from high quality, tempered carbon steel, ensuring both durability and an impressive historical appearance. The sword’s guard is adorned with intricate scrollwork and pierced designs, enhancing its authenticity and making it a striking display piece or a functional addition to reenactments and costume events.

The “Pinch of Snuff” broadsword gained its unique nickname from the famous duel of 1822 between the Earl of Eglinton and Captain Thomas, where a disagreement over a pinch of snuff led to one of the last documented duels fought with swords. This sword embodies the spirit of that historic confrontation, making it a must have for collectors, history enthusiasts, and reenactors.

Whether displayed in your collection or wielded on the field, this replica embodies the bold tradition of the Highland officer, capturing the spirit and drama of a bygone era. Final measurements TBA.
