Cheers Robin,
If they can be made by cutting, drilling, filing, hammering etc then I make them myself.
If it involves casting then I farm it out.

Here is the scabbard for my Arms and Armor German Bastard sword. Not the flashiest, but still very good work.

Jeff said the tooling design is a combination of the design from the back of the Lewis Chessmen and a Liturgical comb from the 12th century.

Reworked one of my older scabbards a bit - a conjectural reconstruction of Valsgarde 8 scabbard, using a wooden strap bridge. On the next version I will use a thinner leather, because this is thicker, carving under it is barely visable.

This is a scabbard I "made" today. It's actually a plastic scabbard owned by one of the young lads in the group I was asked to make look better with some leather, me being me I couldn't just wrap it in a bit old hide. Aimed for a 10th century look to it, nothing too fancy because the lad plays a recent Christian convert.

Here are some of the more interesting sword scabbards I have or used to have (by the old guard of scabbard makers):
Albion Sovereign Scabbard by Aaron Schnatterly and Kevin Iseli:
Armour Class Cup and Ring Basket Hilt Scabbard by Art Elwell (nickel silver fittings and a heart shaped stud):
Del Tin 2150 scabbard by Art Elwell (no longer in my collection):

The short version of the Ottoman kilij sometimes known as ''pala'', with deeply curved wide blade and ‘T’ spine, it was in use from the early 17 C. for more than 300 years well into the 20th C. The hilt of classical form is made of brass cross guard and horn grips with bulbous pommel and brass grip strap. The original wood scabbard is covered with leather and has spiral brass stitching, mounted with chased brass locket and chape, 27 inch blade, 33 inches total.

Definately on the plain side of the spectrum here. So far most are only wood cores. But every blade is protected.

Just finished one that I've wanted to make for a long time. It's one of the ones found in the harbour at Hedeby/Haithabu.
What has survived showed that it was a wooden core overlaid with two layers of leather, with diamond shaped cutouts in the upper layer and with copper alloy rivets or pins along the edges of the cutouts. No evidence of dye colours survived although one is thought to have been darker than the other.
So, here it is. Birch cored, fleece lined, one layer of leather dyed with the very last of my Libyan kermes, the upper layer is oak tanned stained with walnut.
I went with a Cronk Moar style suspension because it can be used without resorting to any slide, bridge or other elements (no suspension method was apparent on the remains).

I like the Hedeby/Haithabu interpretation. Rather elegant in its simplicity, but looks quite good, and also isn't something you see every day. I take it that there were no metallic components found or evidence of them, aside from the rivets?

|
|
Hello all,
Apologies if this is slightly off topic but does anybody know of a good scabbard maker in London?
I recently acquired a lovely little sword from the late 17th Century at the biannual Arms Fair in Earls Court and I would like to have a scabbard made for it.
Best regards,
Adam
