I realize that there is already a thread detailing the historical inaccuracies of the Robin Hood movie, and I don't really want to dredge that back up, but I'm curious if there is any historical merit to this item:

If so, what's good, if not, what's bad?

I have no knowledge in this area, but it looks better than what I currently have, is relatively inexpensive, and I think it would hold my Albion I.33 sword.

Pouches are not generally a standard. Effigies demonstrate they were worn, but most frequently they were of the drawstring style. However, the belt looks nice, and fairly accurate on a whole.
