Falcata, Kopis, Etc. Baldric

[Chris B]

Hopefully this is a question someone can answer. I have done a lot of research on the Greek swords used during various periods, but was hoping someone had an idea on how the baldric for the scabbard for a falcata would have been constructed. Specifically, was there a buckle on the baldric or was it simply a solid piece of leather wrapped around the body and attaching at two points on the scabbard. I know it is a small detail, but I am finishing my scabbard this weekend and want it as accurate as I can make it down to the last detal. Also, if there were buckles used, where would one find a buckle that would pass for late Greek (say 500 BC - 300 BC time range). I have looked at Quiet Press and various other suppliers, but haven't seen anything that I feel looks authentic enough for an early buckle. Even the Roman buckles appear to be from later finds. Thanks.
