I have to admit, I have a dream of owning an Albion NG Dane. Having read this thread, it seems that one can chose a number of methods of carry. I like the idea of a scabbard, either at the waist, or used as a slip cover when carrying the sword over the shoulder like a polearm. I often wonder about scabbards that sling over the back on something like a baldric. Is that means of carry something that came about through Hollywood, or were large swords sometimes carried that way historically?

One other thing. I was rather proud of myself for finding this thread on how to carry a Dane by using the search feature, but I can't seem to locate Martin's thread on his "fightingboy" or "poor-man's" kit that he was (or is) working on. Could anybody direct me to the right place?
My apologies and thanks in advance!
