Were sword "Squivers" real?

I came across a manuscript picture of a sword scabbard and quiver built together and assumed it was fanciful, but thanks to the folk at www.MyArmoury.com who shared their pictures, I realised it was a very real, if rare object. Interesting, but what is it about?

The quiver is small and holds 3-5 bolts, so it cannot be a 'primary' piece of equipment so what was it for? This film explains my theory.

The sword and 'quiver' combination will be for sale on https://todsworkshop.com

I also extoll the virtues of a fantastic chat room site called www.MyArmoury.com and if you don't know it and you are genuinely interested in this content and not just a tourist, go and visit - you will not be disappointed. So much of my knowledge and so many of my videos have come about because of my time spent there. It has been going since 2003 and has always been a tightly moderated site, so discussion is always polite and informed and the quality of input into the discussion is second to none. I cannot pretend the site is as busy and vibrant as it once was, but as a priceless archive it is an absolute treasure trove and should be a World Heritage Site. Since I conceived this film it has actually made its fundraising target for the year, but just bank your Dollar/Euro/Pound for next year.
