Hi all, as I know very little on swords, this thread about ring pommel swords has me asking what is probably a dumb question from a history of swords novice. Why was the ring pommel so popular amongst the steppe people & Chinese? Was it a result of the forging process & therefore practical, simple & cheap? Was the ring used so a horseman could use material, rope or thong to attach sword to arm or wrist so that rider could not lose it in a cavalry melee? Being popular amongst steppe tribes was the ring used to suspend sword on tent or wagon wall when not in use or in storage? Or was it used for show to hang tassels & ribbons from in religious ceremonies or to intimidate others? Just curious as my first thoughts are that it has more to do with the actual sword manufacturing process. Sad

Regards
