Regret to admin that it sells in great number during summertime in islands around Greece.

So there is a niche market for everything isn't there. Do they wear these things with or without the helmets Costas? And when you have time try and grab a pic or two of someone with it on for us, ta.

Bob
Most of the times without helmets. Will try to get a pic next time, and hope to be able to post it. See I have issues with posting pics, almost never succeeded. Incurable and incapable symptoms of a stubborn mind

... However, the scabbard tended to slide around a lot when they charged the enemy, meaning that it had to be steadied with the left hand before being drawn.[4] ...

I confess to being a total nerd and once being heavily into Medieval sword fighting (not re-enactment but the martial art ( for example, this group run by a mate of mine in Germany http://artsofmars.com/ ) - I was into an Italian longsword style myself ...). In fact, all types of sword in any scabbard need to be drawn with the left hand on the upper scabbard assuming you are right-handed and not wearing one of those silly back scabbards common in films (movies) in which case you would have a difficult job staying alive unless you drew the sword before starting your charge.

I think that the Sam Brownie belt was probably invented to stop the sword banging about as you ran with a pistol or rifle. A sword only becomes a weapon at distances of about one metre or so.

Perhaps an ex-forces person could comment?

You mean all that throwing swords for miles in the movies isn't real?

Indeed up to a meter and preferably closer.
Personally prefer my Walther P88, now my weapon is the Smith&Wesson SD9/SD40.
