basket hilt

I've had no firm identification of this basket.
I've thought it was a Sterling model but dating that style has been difficult Can anyone provide a positive ID for me please. I know the blade is from Oley in Shotley Bridge in 1688 - 1691 but was the hilt contemporary? Attachment 245955 Attachment 245952 Attachment 245953 Attachment 245954 |
The Scottish hilt looks more like the early to mid 1700s. Might fit. Others like Jim should know better.

Thank-you Battara.
I also, instinctively, felt your dates were more appropriate. I thought it a Sterling style hilt - but I may be wrong. Whatever it is, it has been fitted to an exemplary, very expensive and well used - but well cared-for Catholic blade; so maybe it was re-hilted and used again in the '15 and/or '45.
