Looking for a scabbard
I have an Albion Armorers Agincourt that I really love, however I don't have a scabbard for it yet. Does anybody know any other places to look for handmade scabbards and sword belts. I've checked around and from what I've seen thus far I've only found 2 places. I really like the Albion scabbards but I want a relatively plain scabbard so I'm not sure if I want them to make me a custom scabbard. Another place I've checked is Christian Fletcher http://www.christianfletcher.com/ , their stuff seems good but I've found that the leather is not sewed up in the back but is instead glued down with their scabbards. Any advice on who to go to for finding the best sort of historically accurate scabbard for the money would be very much appreciated. Thank you
Two places immediately come to mind --

Art Elwell --- www.a-work-of-art.net
It doesn't mention on his site that he makes scabbards, but he sure does.

Russ Ellis --- www.tritonworks.com

You will have to send them your sword to get a good fitting scabbard.

Below is a scabbard that Art made for my Del Tin Cinquedea

I'll add a bit to what Roger said.

Art Elwell is a great choice. I have several of his scabbards and they're top notch. He doesn't do the integral belts that are found on early period scabbards, though.

You can go here for pics of some of my scabbards Art made:

Jesse Bailey is another option. He's currently making a scabbard for my ArmArt. His prices for early period scabbards with integral belts are simply the best out there. I'll do a full report when I get it.

You can go here for examples of his work:

Had not seen Jesse's work before.

It does look like his work is good.

I had heard about him a couple of years ago when Erik Schmid posted pictures of one of Jesse's scabbards on SFI.

Robert Reaves posted some pics here a few months ago, so I made contact and sent off my ArmArt. His turn-around would have been 4 weeks if his supplier hadn't had trouble getting him elkskin for the belt.

Maybe Nathan would want a full-blown review when it comes in....
