Information about this scabbard

This scabbard was made with a black lacquered leather body and sheet brass mounts.  The throat mount is held to the leather with two small copper colored rivets on each side, close to the leather edge.  The tip mount has a single copper colored rivet in the center on both sides close to the leather edge.  The leather body appears to have been contoured to the shape of the curved blade.  The leather side of the throat mount has a straight edge that is perpendicular to the leather body.  The leather edge of the tip mount is lightly curved outward toward the leather body.  The overall length is approximately 578 millimeters long.   

There are two sets of parallel lines impressed into the front side of the leather body that runs from mount to mount.

There was a small domed brass frog stud brazed to the lower right side of the throat mount that is now missing on the pictured example.  A brass plate with a blade shaped opening appears to have been brazed to the throat mount.  The throat mount is 65 millimeters long and 42 millimeters wide.  

The tip mount is 55 millimeters long and 31 millimeters wide at the leather side.  It tapers to 18 millimeters at the finial.  The finial is a rather large doomed brass cap brazed to the mount.
