 |
|
Hello myArmoury community,
I would like to share my most recent scabbard for the Chevalier. I always wanted to implement some round head nails to compliment the grips that Albion is doing with a couple of their swords, and here it is.
Please feel free to comment, or ask any questions.
Thanks for looking as always!

Very, very nice, like all your work.
I imagine that that scabbard would also be a good fit for an Albion Oakeshott?

Yes it's getting boring to say it since it's always very beautiful work but it's still nice to let you know that we appreciate your work even if we long ago used up all the good superlatives and compliments.   
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Bravo Brian. The round head nails are a great touch especially when teamed with the Chevalier. Your work continues to impress.

I really like the shield near the scabbard mouth. It looks to be added, as opposed to embossed. I can't see any stitching.... If you don't mind saying. How is it attached? The outline incising with fleur-de-lis is superb and innovative... very cool.
Absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence!

It's actually all one piece. The shield is tooled into the scabbard leather. The outside edge was raised & shadowed a bit. Thank you for the kind words.

I agree, twice!
You Brian, Someday I am going to have to swing by your place since we're in the same general area.
