"Leaf-bladed bronze swords were in use from the Middle Bronze Age onwards. This one was in Alexander Thomson's collection at Banchory House Museum. He was an antiquarian and polymath. The sword is cast, with the blade and tang in one, and with rivet holes for the attachment of a horn or wooden hilt. It is a Ewart Park type of sword, the most common in Scotland. The sword is probably a 19th century cast copy of a Bronze Age sword found at Netherley, Kincardineshire. It was fitted with a wooden hilt, which does not fit the tang, during the 1980s."
