Why didn't medieval people wear SWORDS on their BACK?

Only works with a short sword.
And if it’s short, why bother? :lol:

Thanks!  I can’t watch both in “one setting,” and this is very interesting.  I used to fence, which isn’t the same as using a 2-handed combat sword.  I like it!;)

I can see carrying it like that on the March but not in a fight.

Only in Hollywood! :P

See Mel pull his sword at 1:01 mark of the trailer below. ;)

W.K.

Yup. And Deadpool and dozens of other movie characters.

But not in the old days. ;)

I bought a shotgun scabbard that goes on one's back. It took a few tries but I got it to work just fine. The key is having only one anchor point up high. I imagine it would work for a  sword, like in the first video, but I have determined that a shotgun scabbard is only good for one thing...making money for the guy selling them. :rolleyes::blink:
