Description
This sword hanger is made to fasten firmly onto a belt, using leather straps cut to just the right length for carrying a saber while mounted on horseback. The brass belt clip, about 3 inches long, serves as a solid anchor point. The leather straps thread through the scabbard rings and secure with brass buttons, keeping the sword steady even during the jostling of a ride. This setup matches the dimensions typical of Confederate and Union sword belts, ensuring a proper fit. Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts, the hanger draws on time-honored cavalry equipment traditions.
Fun fact: Cavalry sword suspension systems were designed not only to hold the weapon securely but also to let the rider draw it swiftly. Many featured swivel hooks or adjustable straps that kept the saber from swinging wildly during sudden movements on horseback.
