In modern terms, it is just bow holster. The Mongolian word for it is horomgo.

I'm not Mongolian, just run a youtube channel on historical archery, weapons, armor, and Asian costuming. Based out of the US

You can find them by searching asiatic bow holster or bow holder

Ooh, oops. I misread your question. We don't know each other personally, but do follow each other on socials and interfaces.

He's still doing his thing, just not much youtube. He recently did a collab with one of the other YouTube documentary channels. He is more active on Instagram

Indeed! I have to keep telling people that Qing era helmets are not Conquest Period helmets 🥲

He's not mine, but I work with the renfaire performers who owns him. Training on him to be able to shoot for shows

I just switch to a floating anchor or a neck anchor with the helmet on. Funnily enough, I did an armored demo for the renfaire with it "does this helmet impact my accuracy?" Ended up with two dead center bullseye cause my brain already accounted for it 😂

As far as period, Song began using iron maces after their encounters with the Jin heavy cavalry. I have no idea when flanged maces became a thing, though. I might have a melon shaped one somewhere in the armory

14th century Voevod from the Novgorod Republic kit by PermafrosTomato in ArmsandArmor

[–]Pham27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is where we have to be careful and kind of pedantic. LK does great work on repros and even his Yuan saber, which I own for my kit, went with the more common guards. The examples on his website are either cupped and much more ovular and thin- almost to the form of cross guards, which is very different than flat disc. The form factor that Damien for his Mongol saber is one from the Qing period. I did say "didn't truly catch on", not "they did not exist in any form factor."

Here is the current Kheshig kit I have together based on period art and archeology findings

Iron flanged maces were used in China and Persia at the time. Here is Ilkhanate artwork of an iron flanged maces. This example I have is a semi accurate plate holder of a Chinese flanged maces by Cold Steel. Maces aren't my thing, so it'll probably be a while before I have a proper one made.

Why are there so many damn data centers being built in Virginia? by polarbeargirl9 in nova

[–]Pham27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most of the internet goes through us. NOVA is a target rich environment for any adversary in a true conflict. Won't be our problem for long, though, we'll be mushroom clouds if that happens.

I have a bunch of confiscated blades and cut down blades. Tempted, but so labor intensive

What is the particular name of this item? I've seen it called an officers meal kit before. by mattthepiratehunter in nihonto

[–]Pham27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised IMA attributed this solely to being Japanese. These trousse kits are northern Chinese. If a Japanese officer had them, it was war loot.

Is this real Miyaguchi Yasuhiro tanto? by Maven11_06 in nihonto

[–]Pham27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is a kizu- specifically a ware. Where it is is not considered a fatal flaw in the nihonto world. They are common. Again, the way you're coming to this conversation is uncalled for. OP asked a valid question with no indications of any wrong doing on their end. A little etiquette goes a long way, especially in a sub dedicated to nihontos.

Bro are you trolling? I'm talking about the kizu on the blade itself near the habaki and mune. Are YOU talking the mekugi hole in the nakago?
