William Wallace and his band of lowland scots routed an English force of 50,000 at Stirling Castle in 1297. This impressive sword with it's straight steel cross guard is a predecessor to the later Claymore that had the down-sloping guard that developed in the late 15th century. The legend of William Wallace will continue to live on with this sword.
-Why you ask is this sword more than some Wallace Claymores? It comes with a full length top grain leather scabbard and the cross guard and pommel are solid steel, not nickel plated brass as on some. -
Improvement: It is more historically accurate in look and weight and also the way it is put together. As you can see from the above right picture the tang runs all the way through the pommel and then it is peened (mushroomed) to hold it in place. Historically this is the way most swords were assembled.
