Leather Back Scabbard Baldric "The Ranger"
Detailed Description and Functions
This baldric is designed to securely hold a sword within its own scabbard. The main load-bearing body, 106 cm in length, forms the spine of the entire system. Attached to this is the scabbard holder itself, which features lacing and adjustable straps. This allows you to customize the fit precisely for your weapon's width. The inner opening width for inserting a scabbard or blade is approx. 6.8 cm (approx. 2.7 inches), which accommodates most common European swords.
The chest strap system is designed to prevent the baldric from slipping, keeping it securely in place. The massive brass buckle not only looks great but also allows for quick size adjustment. The combination of sturdy leather and brass fittings gives the entire piece a very authentic and luxurious appearance.

Historical Context and Usage
It is important to note that drawing a sword from the back, as seen in movies and video games, is largely a modern myth rather than a historical reality for combat situations. Historically, swords were carried on the back primarily for transport (e.g., during marches), as drawing a long blade from behind the shoulder is anatomically difficult and too slow for battle. However, for LARP, Cosplay, and Fantasy Re-enactment, this style of carry is iconic, visually striking, and very practical, as the weapon does not get in the way while running or walking through woods.
Care Instructions
To ensure the leather remains supple and strong for years, it requires proper care. Leather is a natural material that needs to "breathe".
- Lubricate regularly: Use beeswax or a special leather balm (e.g., lanolin). This prevents drying out and cracking.
- Cleaning: Brush off mud and dust after use. For heavy soiling, use a damp cloth and mild saddle soap.
- Storage: Store in a dry and well-ventilated place.
What to Avoid
- Never dry near direct heat: Radiators, open fires, or hair dryers will irreparably damage the leather (it will become brittle and crack).
- Moisture: Do not leave the baldric in a damp environment (like a damp cellar) for long periods, as mold may develop.
