PoD Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Ahoy Maties This belt is based on a mid 17th Century German Dragoon sword belt (first picture). It is also very similar to scottish sword belts of the time (smaller picture). As usual I tried to keep historically accurate. The belt is 2" wide and the small buckles are the correct ones for the time period (as near as i could get). There is a large ornate brass buckle on the belt but this can be replaced with a smaller more period correct square buckle if needs be. There is a removable plug bayonet frog (which holds the John Barnett replica version so hopefully will hold other brands too) and adjustable straps to alter the drop on the sword loops (these are quite hard to adjust though due to the thickness of the leather). £60 ...and then I discovered the wine...
