How to hang a scabbard

Brodir · Post by **Brodir** » Sun Apr 28, 2002 9:57 pm

I remember a long while ago somebody posting a jpeg of a bunch of different line drawings depicting correct ways to hang a sword scabbard over the centuries, based on effigies, illuminations, surviving examples, etc. Anyone know if this is still online? Thanks.

If it was about two years ago I think it was me. Did it have about 20-30 drawings on a single page in black and white? If so I still have the page somewhere, emailin a few days if I don't respond and I'll try to find it.

Wil,

Do you have a target date? I forget what era you are doing nowadays!

Hey Brodir,

I'll bring AAoMK down to Pillage this weekend. There are some close-ups in there that might help.
Later!

Rainald- That's the exact picture I'm thinking of, if you have acopy kicking around, please share!

Tim- 600-1600

. Mostly curious, I can look at numerous effigies online to figure out how to hang it c. 1350.

Ewan- That would be great, after losing 3 Ebay auctions for that book this month, I found out that Bob has a copy fogotten at his house, and looked through it for the first time on Tuesday. Awesome.

Brodir:

Want to share with the rest of us? Or do we have to put you down for a time-out?

I would love to see that page, if anyone can get a hold of it.
