Description: | This is a pair of broadswords, made in the 1700s at Shotley Bridge, County Durham. Broadswords are weapons for fighting. They were especially popular in Scotland and became a traditional weapon there. In the early 1800s when British Army officers were armed with regulation sabres, the Highland regiments were allowed to retain the broadsword. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East made in the North East industry military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
