Thank you both for the response. It was along the lines I was thinking. However, your imput is valuable for me because it strenghts the argument all that more.
However, my armorer seems to think that such elaborate pieces were repousee not even chasing enters his argument. I guess everyone has their own ideas as to how things could have been made. Since all the techniques mentioned were available at the time, it seems fair to assume any of them are acceptable when reproducing something.
Do either of you have any photos of highly decorated scabbards (not the sword of tiberius, I have that).
Any help wouldbe appreciated
Thanks
