Greetings!

I would like to ask you would the scabbards form the picture be appropriate for the mid 14th century.

Thank you very much!

Hi, is this the new line they show on the Arma Bohemia site?

From what I know this design was quite common in the 15th cent, but it can be also seen in some very late 14th cent artwork.

We have several 14th cent scabbard threads on this board. Unfortunately there seems to be a gap from the second quarter to the fourth quarter. Mostly the swords in that time are shown on knights, brasses (see the recent article: http://www.myArmoury.com/feature_brasses.html) and monuments. The swords are mostly shon attached to belts by means of a plaque.
