Singlestick was a sport common in the nineteenth century.

Singlestick, where a stick is used in light combat instead of a sabre, is a form of training for the sport of fencing. A guard is used to protect the hand of the singlestick player. This guard is made from handstitched leather, possibly pig skin.
