Both are made by Cold Steel.
My Scottish basket-hilt tips the scales at 3 lb. 8.2 oz. with a 13.2 oz. leather covered wood scabbard.
4 lb. 5.4 oz. total.
My cavalry saber tares at 2 lb. 5.2 oz. with a 2 lb. 1.7 oz. metal scabbard.
4 lb. 6.9 oz. total.
GURPS time! GURPS weights include the scabbard.
A Scottish basket is simply a backsword (basket hilt included). It's supposed to be $550 and 3 lb. with scabbard.
Though... because a Scottish basket is double edged... You could take the tack that it's a broadsword with the basket-hilt mod. $625, 3.25 lb. with scabbard.
The M1860 is a cavalry saber with an open-frame basket hilt. It's supposed to be $625, 3 lb. with scabbard.
Both of my swords are fine quality because they're made at TL8.
Both have the same Damage of sw+2 cut and thr+2 imp.
Both have the same Reach of 1.
Both need the same ST of 10.
It also turns out my -2 familiarity penalty is a standard 4e rule on p. 169 of The Basic Set.
For such similar weapons, they sure are different...
