These are so breathtaking, as are all basket hilts! It is so overwhelming seeing so many at once, though in looking at them I want to individually itemize the various features and elements to learn more on them.

Hi Jim,
I will try at get to Kelvingrove within the next two or three weeks and photograph the complete swords with the relevant info as per the museum description hoping to give you a bit more to go on.
Regards,
Norman.
