Pugio from Köln, Nijmegen, and Princeton ?

[Doc]

There are three pugio scabbards towards the top of the page (under the line drawings) at this website: http://www.romancoins.info/MilitaryEquipment-pugio.html

I do not know which one comes from where. Nonetheless, all three scabbards have the bottom cut off in the picture. I am interested in the full photo of the center scabbard with the red enamel and silver looking inlay :?: along with any information (dimensions, materials etc).

If anyone could help, I would apprecaite it.
