Basket Hilt Broadsword Project

[Woodsheal]

Looks like the basket is off a M1828/31 pattern broadsword, issued to officers in Highland regiments in the 19th C.

Here are some pommels, a couple of which could be modified with a bit of grinding and polishing to fit your backsword:

Thanks for all of the coments and input. Poor old Martha, nobody likes her. The patina on the knob as almost identical to the basket and one of the factors why I decided to use it. I apologize because the "assembled" picture looked goofy and knob was not threaded yet. I was not planning to have the knob stick out, it was either going to br ground down to a ball or have the large part flush against the bottom of the basket and use the smaller part as a pedestal for the grip. It will all be threaded and if it does not look right I can d/c it and try again. I will post a finished product and see what the concensus is.
Woodsheal thanks for theinfo and link, I have never seen that site before and plan to go shopping soon.
Thank you all for all of the interest. This is a great community here.
