Quote:as the example of a cavalryman (not a legionary to the best of my knowledge) putting up a dagger sheath decorated with ivory as security for a loan shows and that these materials clearly made the sheath more valuable.For some reason I completely missed that longer post. By sheer coincidence I was talking to the curator at the Museum of London today, asking about the ivory pugio handle there as I'm thinking of making a faux-ivory version. Any wild guesses as to what form the ivory scabbard would take?
