This is a DelTin blade purchased from Atlanta Cutlery a few years ago when they were liquidating a bunch of DelTin bare-blades. The guard is from the Albion moat sale.
Everything else was made from scratch, and the pommel is my first foray into wire-inlay(I like to think I've improved significantly, in a crude sense).
Anyway, for years I've been having trouble locating a large enough, thin enough piece of leather to cover this scabbard(and when I CAN find it, it's far too expensive for a humble, college student's budget).
So, was anything other than leather ever used? Obviously I'm not looking for something too contemporary, but anything with a leg in historical precedence would be great, as well as different. I wish I COULD find a piece, as I do so much love leather, but I also really want to call this piece finished, once and for all. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
