A favorite way to wear a sword since biblical times, the use of the baldric continued even into the 17th century. While much of the weight of the sword rested on the hip, the shoulder strap provided extra support from the opposite side of the body. This added balance and comfort. Assyrians, Romans and Vikings are all shown in contemporary art wearing baldrics. This Pirate Baldric can be worn with any sword we sell. Fits most periods.

Measures 2-1/2 inches wide with a heavy duty brass buckle and brass frog buckles. One size fits most. Shown here in black leather, also available in chestnut, dark tan, or dark brown.
