Description

The highland claymore was a two handed greatsword iconic of Scotland. It was favored chiefly by mercenaries, one group of which were the Gallowglass - elite warriors from Norse-Gaelic Scottish and Irish clans. The word claymore originates from Gaelic ‘claidheamh mor’ meaning simply ‘large sword.’ As the etymology would suggest, this was the greatsword of Ireland and Scotland. Though the claymore and Gallowglass are primarily Scottish concepts, Gallowglass were also active in Ireland. This sword in particular is modeled after a 16th century rendition of an Irish Gallowglass carrying a claymore. The claymore in the illustration features an open ring-shaped pommel which is a uniquely Irish design. This implies that Ireland too smithed its own claymores in addition to the Scots.

Three material sets are included: A newly fashioned clean steel blade with a tan leather grip, a re-colored version with a lightly green tinted blade and a green stained grip, a weathered and rusted steel blade with a worn leather grip, and finally a re-colored green analogue of the weathered version.
