Decorative sword belts and medieval designs and what they mean?
SerTimtheJailer:
Hi there I'm new to the forum and could already use your guys advice. I'm ordering a custom DBK scabbard for a Albion Knight and I wanna know if you guys could point me in the right direction as to what kind of I guess medieval designs would a knight use? Also if anybody has any pics of some nice decorative belts that a knight would use, it would also help me in designing this scabbard. I'm also thinking of having all the knightly virtues inscribed on the side of the scabbard, good idea what do you guys think?
Sir James A:
Effigies and Brasses, and Armour In Art, are your two best friends for this :)

Thank you, that was actually very helpful!

Medieval knights were fond of Latin phrases on their shields and other gear, even a fair number of existing sword blades had Latin mottos or abbreviations made into them. Sword scabbards and belts are fair game for these and other designs as well.
This one is one of mine. I've got several dbk scabbards, and I love them all:
The dbk gallery is a great resource.
