I... Mate,,,,That be great a find you have there!

looks like an 18th century Scottish broadsword- you should try contacting the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh or the Kelvingrove Museum Glasgow.

After much googling I thought the same,,,,I never said much but saw a similar one on website selling them, ironic as the day I found it a family member passed away, he was Scotish and lived in Glasgow...99*

 

[Smithbrown]

No, something more like this:http://www.glasgowmuseums.com/showExhibition.cfm?venueid=0&itemid=74&Showid=52&slideid=53#slide

can't find a picture of a genuine 18th century basket-hilted broadsword. But that gives yout the general idea

Yes, that is the sort of thing. But really worth contacting one of the major Scottish museums for an authoritive view.
