The vast majority of basket hilts, whether they go by "1828" or "1831" or officers pattern are pretty rough or at the very least look very "off." You can spot them from a mile away. Usually stamped brass basket, unstructured cloth lining and varying blade/scabbard quality. I took a look at the military heritage page, and this model is probably the best in terms of replicating a sword that actually looks like a Pooley or Wilkinson - http://www.militaryheritage.com/sword28.htm. These periodically come up at auction as well. For the most part though, the vast majority of basket hilts on the internet look god awful, neither close to current mil spec or even vaguely authentic for those with recreation on the mind.

I had a very good faux Wilkinson basket hilt about a million years ago that I contemplated wearing with No 1 dress while piping. Bought hangers and practiced marching about with it and... no. I can speak for the majority of us at the games when I say the first response to someone who shows up with a $75 dollar dirk or random claymore is to shake our heads. If you want to be a sword guy, cool. But it's not highland dress... it's highland make believe.
