Another possible medial riser, or just a clearly-defined diamond-shaped scabbard with ridge. Also note the level of detail on grip, but plainness of scabbard.

Another riser, and detailed pommel and chappe - but plain scabbard.

Not sure if the horizontal lines on the scabbard are mean to be detail, or just the edges of a wrapped leather strip. Either way, rest of scabbard clearly plain.

A classic image of a painted scabbard.

Some cross-hatching, presumably not for effect, but actual detailing, given rest of the work.

Some more from random internet searching ... sorry these don't have any source information.
I like these three, as they give specific details about the chapes: the first has a 'U'-shaped chape. Sometimes, there seems to be a 'modern myth' in the arms and armour community that U-shaped chapes existed only in the 14th C and earlier, but the more I look, the more I find them in 15th and 16th C art.
The second chape appears to be of the very elongated form common in the late 15th C, but with a cut-out, making a V-shape.
The third appears to be a 'full' chape, but have some kind of decoration/relief work, which is not so common to see in artwork.

I would LOVE to see a "sumptuous fabric" covered scabbard. There are more than a few in art and you never see modern repros. I can't wait to yours Blaz.

I'm going to cover the scabbard of my Albion Earl with brocade. I know it's not the most common thing in sources, but apparently it was done. It looks a bit boring right now, covered only with black linen. |
It represents Bertrand Du Guesclin receiving the sword of constable from Charles V.
After a short research, it appears to be a manuscript illumination (enluminure) from Jean Fouquet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Fouquet) for the "Grandes Chroniques de France".
