Scabbard For Hunting Sword

Finished this one yesterday. It was made for the 18" blade shell guard hunting sword by Kyle Willyard. 7 to 8 oz vege-tan leather, Mounts are low carb 22 ga. steel, all hand made and hand formed. The locket on the throat is sawed, ground, and filed to shape from a 3/8" bar, silver brazed on with a reinforcement pin though the throat. The leather is mildly hardened, and oiled. The steel mounts were cold browned to match the sword. Now I have make a shoulder strapped frog for it. Hope you enjoy a look.

Beautiful pieces. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you make a scabbard like that. Amazing.
