I may finally get some breathing space to make some of the things that I've been wanting to make for myself for what seems like an inordinately long time. One of my intended projects is a scabbard for my Albion Knud. The problem is that the chapes I've been able to find that are identified as "Viking" seem too ornate to tie in well stylistically with the sword's pommel and guard.

Sources or suggestions anyone?

Here is a basic bronze chape from Viking Shield which could fit the bill... Happy
