That helps A LOT. Thanks. I had not thought of using buttons to secure the two straps of the baldric. The idea behind the attachment looks kind of like a small frog (Just the circular piece) for a pugio on the Roman kits. I think I will just get a button (since plain buttons are a more neutral item across time) to secure the straps of the baldric. I have the scabbard construction and template I made similiar to what you show and am going to salvage the Bronze/Brass rings that came with the cheap scabbard and use them for the three rings on my project.
