Ottoman weapon belt, pattern needed

[Affaltar]

Hello, does anyone have a pattern for this or something simmilar?

Or at least detailed explanation of the construction?

HaHa! These are mostly gun holster guys. You'd be better off looking in the Cosplay or Larp forums.

Do you know any? I'm in one local but they asked me to make it and don't have a pattern

I did have a quick look around , but I think it will be a tall order to find a pattern for that .

Perhaps if you contact the gent in the link, or get him to take some extra pics of the holster you wish to make  so you can copy it? Or he may have more info?  

Good luck

Sorry no but where I do my workshop is very much that way inclined and almost everyone is involved in Cosplay, Larp, medieval, traditional archery etc. I'll ask and get back to you.

if you can find the country it is from and about the century it was made then i'm sure there are illustrations somewhere. Pretty easy to make a pattern then i do it all the time for my holsters. looks like some basic conchoes and some lacing , a little tooling pattern on about 4 oz or so.

Looks like a knife sheath for suspenders  or a shoulder rig to me

its more like a hip bag worn in front, multiple layers of pockets for your weapons with a thin belt, the round part on lower right is for the knife or sword.

Ottoman empire, 15-19 century, I've seen a lot of illustrations but I can't find details easily. There's a bunch of layers

It is not, it's a belt that goes over the waist, in front of you and you put all your weapons there to look scary




I can improvise my own pattern, make something similar that will work, but I was just looking for a chance to have that part of the work already done. Ottomans raided huge parts of Europe and a lot of reenactment battles include them so people here might have it. But please don't spend any effort looking for it if you don't have it, I'll do that myself =)
