I love the clean, simple look that you gave this piece. The aging looks great as well.... and gives me an idea for my next commission. Email on the way  . Great job as always Brian.

That looks superb! Can you tell me more about how you got that old leather look?

I really like this scabbard. The strapping matches closely with images of period art from the later 13th C and early 14th C, but are not commonly seen on modern reproductions. I also like that this scabbard is neither over-decorated nor over-tooled, which gives it a lot more authentic feel to me than what many customers request from Brian.
Nice work Brian- elegant and understated.

Brian. Wow! I honestly have to say that I think that's the nicest scabbard I've seen you make. It just looks "right". No tooling, no designs. Just an honest, functional scabbard. I think if the owner were to jump in a time machine and go back this scabbard wouldn't look out of place at all. Bravo sir.

In light of the recent discussion about scabbard decoration, this is a breath of fresh air. The crisp execution of this scabbard and its utter simplicity puts me in the same mood that it does Mr. Corbin. Truly, a piece worthy of a museum display. Well done, Brian, as always!

Thanks Bruce. The aging process is many years of practice with coloring, buffing, roughing, well you get the picture

Thanks Matt. When coming up with the concept for this scabbard, my gut instinct was exactly what you see. I get a lot of requests for tooled work, but I knew this one would be best without.

Thank you Matthew. I really pride myself in my photography, though I don't claim to be an expert. Just good enough for my scabbardwork

Thank you Gregory. It's very rewarding to hear I've captured a 'look' to a scabbard that merit's a museum quality reference
