HERE IS A EXAMPLE OF A SWORD WITH RINGS AND TWO MACES. AND SOME WEAPONS ONE OF WHICH HAS A HALF MOON BLADE WITH TWO RINGS. I HAVE A CHINESE POLE ARM (BOXER REBELLION) WITH A SORT OF OPEN SCABBARD WITH RINGS ON THE SCABBARD (NO RINGS ON THE BLADE) WITH TIES TO SECURE THE BLADE IN THE SCABBARD. I THOUGHT FROM THE PICTURE PERHAPS THE SWORD HAD SOMETHING SIMULAR FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT. BUT STORAGE ON A WALL OR UP AGAINST SOMETHING WOULD PROTECT PARTS OF THE BLADE AS WELL.
