I recently acquired an Albion St. Maurice Of Turin broadsword and asked
Greg Griggs, who did a scabbard for my Albion Duke, to make a home for
the St. Maurice...

Next to my Albion Templar...


The design for the scabbard ( nothing fancy, done by yours truly, and once again
keeping the metal bits to a minimum ) ...


Thankyou, Greg ! You did yourself proud once again .... B-)

Congrats Matt! It looks great. Very sleek, and I must say that I'm jealous!

-Cheers!

Very nice. Needs a period outfit to match!

Wow, very nice scabbard (and sword)... I like the stitching on the scabbard's mouth.

No buckle on the belt, meaning it has to be tied, or do you plan on posing a buckle later ?

Corey, M., Hugo ... Thanks for your comments ... I like the stiching on the backside of the
scabbard as well, seems more Historically apropos ( not that I know for sure, mind you ).

Hugo, one of the things I've noted on a couple of the scabbards I've had made for swords
is that the metal-bits require as much care as the blade itself. Most of the time its not a
big problem, but if you have aged or tinted parts, using some cleaning supplies ( like
flitz for instance ) could remove the tint. So I've recently been determined to illiminate
as much of the metal parts -- like using ties as opposed to buckles -- as reasonable. The
amount of leather Greg left actually DOES make looping around the waist and even the
shoulder quite possible.

Matthew, How well does the scabbard fit the sword?

If I remember correctly from a post on another forum Greg made the scabbard around his own St Maurice of Turin sword so that you didn't have to ship yours to him.
