Medieval Genuine Leather Long Sword Baldric Hanger

Got this from Carlos Collection, ordered it on the 13th, shipped on the 14th got it on the17th, can't ask for any better than that. It is very heavy duty and extremely adjustable. After getting it set up to where you want it you will probably have some extra hanging straps to cut off unless you're real big. Takes a little practice to get the hang of drawing and replacing the sword but that's to be expected. Wipe it down real good before trying it on or wear a black shirt because it will leave dirt on a light color. Back mounting a sword is not historically correct but it sure looks cool and if done right very practical.For anyone who is have trouble drawing the sword you probable have it adjusted to tight. I started out on the third hole from the top and couldn't draw the sword. After looking in the mirror I noticed that it was putting stress on the sword. I kept letting it out until it hung naturally which put me in the eighth hole from the top and the buckle on my stomach instead of my chest. I can now put it on without unbuckling it. I'm also going to bend the two leather covered metal bars out a little to make it easier to catch the guard on the sword when putting the it back in.

I purchased this baldric to hold a bastard sword I had recently acquired. The blade came without a sheath or scabbard, and had no way to fit into the sword belt I already owned. As I was going to be wearing this sword for a kid's birthday party, I needed some way to carry the sword around, without possibly impaling a child on the blade. This worked pretty well, especially as no one ended up with any new holes in heir bodies as a result of the sword.It fit me very well, which was a concern, as I am 6'9" tall, and often have difficulty finding things to fit me, unless they are custom made. The straps are adjustable, so it should be able to fit most people. And it can also adjust to hold swords of different sizes as well. I would say it probably couldn't hold a full-size claymore, since it is at its biggest size, and can only barely hold the bastard sword I bought it for. But just about any other sword should be fine.It is pretty easy to put in as well. I was able to put it on, first time, in about 2 minutes, even with having to adjust the straps, and with almost no help. Subsequent wearings have been even easier. It goes on your body exactly as the picture shows, and there is really only way to put it on, so you shouldn't have to worry about putting the thing on you. It may take a little trial and error, to get the size right for you, individually. But it shouldn't take too long to do that.The only reason it got four start, not five from me, is that the leather (which seems to be really high-quality stuff), rubbed against he shirt I was wearing, and completely ruined the white shirt I had on. It seems that the leather isn't "sealed" completely, and it left black residue all over my shirt. Partly my fault, for wearing a white shirt with it, but it still annoyed me. I liked that shirt. It also weighs a lot, like, a lot. Which is because of the god quality leather they used for it. That, paired with the weight of the sword I carried in it, got quite heavy after a while. Paired with a lighter blade, it probably wouldn't be as much of an issue, but just be aware before you make plans to wear it forever. You may wear yourself out over time. Again, since I am not a small person, the effects weren't so bad, but just be prepared. Also, don't wear white with it.All in all, this is a great product, one that I look forward to getting many years of use out of.

Using this for my hand and a half cold steel. Fits great, be careful not to split the stitches at the end of the sheath. Adjust to fit the length carefully so the crosspiece bottoms out before the blade. Allows a good back draw even with such a long blade. Leather and grommets are very good for under a hundred dollars.

The pros: The leather seems to be a really good quality, and the fittings are a nice color and have a good amount of detail. I also like the amount of rivets in the piece, as it suggests an amount of sturdiness. Also, the metal rods are VERY thick. Don’t expect to be able to be able to bend them or anything like that.The con(s): the metal rods on the retaining plate near the shoulder, of the one I got at least, were very poorly welded onto the plate with only two very small beads, and literally snapped off as I was unwrapping the belt (it comes folded up). Ironically, the depth of the bars was too shallow for my sword anyway, as it has an extremely thick crossguard, so I’m going to use this as an opportunity to modify the plate anyway to better fit my sword.TL;DR: check the bars when you first get it so you can quickly weed out any duds, because when they’re not a dud, it’s an extremely useful piece, especially for the price.

For less than $100 I was prepared for cheap leather and marginal hardware. I got neither. This is as sturdy as the ones costing 3x as much. I could not be more happy with this purchase…unless it came in brown.

I got this Baldric to fit with my Ranger armor cosplay and I have to say, it fits the theme rather well. The only complaint that I would have would be the same thing as anyone wearing a shoulder strap backpack, it rubs on the neck a bit while you're wearing it. Just pull up the collar a bit and huzzah.But seriously. This baldric is fantastic. I've got a 34" Italian Claymore LARP sword and it fits it beautifully. The end piece did have to be stretched a bit to be able to fit it, but it does fit well. I would say, if you need something to finish that "light armor" set you've been working on for the past however many con's you've been going to, this is a piece that is necessary if you've got a big sword. LIKE ME :D

This baldric is fantastic and well worth the money. The leather is thick and tough. I do wish there were more straps to help secure a sword in scabbard on the belt, but to be fair, i had deviated from the baldrics intended purpose.
