The nickname comes from the painting \"A Pinch of Snuff\" by William Delacour (ca. 1760), which depicts an officer of a Highland regiment taking a pinch of snuff with a basket-hilted sword in his arm. The design matches officer swords from approximately 1760 to 1790.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single-edged blade of carbon steel has a strong spine and two fullers: a broad central one and a narrower, deeper one along the spine. The finely pierced steel basket hilt completely encloses the hand. The grip has a wood core with black leather and twisted steel wire, finished with a half-round steel pommel. Includes black leather scabbard with steel mouth and point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for fighting or sparring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54134795698504,"sku":"116349500","price":237.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/0116349500_breitschwert_schottische_highland_offiziere_schwert_pinch-off-snuff_mittelalter.jpg?v=1790318311","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.co.uk\/products\/deepeeka-eglinton-pinch-of-snuff-scottish-highland-officers-broadsword-18e-eeuw-semi-scherp","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
