Leather Sword Frog with Templar Cross Appliqué, Black
Durable Construction for Knightly Endeavours
This sword hanger is built to last. The tough genuine leather is carefully stitched and reinforced where the belt loop attaches with two solid brass rivets. This ensures that the loop can reliably support the weight of a sword, even during running and combat. The wide loop is compatible with most historical belts up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. The scabbard holder is cut at an angle, providing a natural and comfortable position for the sword at the hip, from where it can be easily drawn when needed.
Symbolism of the Templar Cross
The red cross pattée on a white field was the emblem of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, better known as the Knights Templar. This powerful symbol represented a knight's willingness to shed his blood and become a martyr for his faith. By wearing this sword frog, you visually align yourself with the legacy of one of the most famous and elite knightly orders of the Middle Ages. It is the ideal accessory for a Templar, paladin, or any holy warrior costume.
A Glimpse into History: Ways of a Carrying a Sword
In the 12th and 13th centuries, during the time of the Crusades, swords were carried on a belt in various types of hangers. Simple leather "frogs" like this one were a common and effective solution. They allowed a knight to have his primary weapon constantly at hand without it hindering him while walking or riding a horse. Compared to more complex baldrics, they were lightweight, durable, and easy to fit onto any belt.
