I was thinking along those lines. However, the distance between the rings is only 11-12 inches which would make carrying it across the back not really feasible. And when carrying it over the shoulder, the heavy blade will most likely keep tipping over (and possibly loosing any scabbard).

It looks like it would be effective for use on horseback.
IMHO this doesn't look like a blade that one would want to wield with a single hand (at least upon impact), much less from horseback...

I guess, we do need to handle this piece for getting a better grip on it...
