Falcata, Kopis, Etc. Baldric
#14
If you find it very hard to make, you can skip it. It'll aslo be accurate. And of course brass(bronze) chapes are ok, but what sort of chape are you willing to make? There were small conical,pointed ones,but this was mostly late classical/hellenistic. Most of the classical ones seem to have been rectangular(like the two first links I posted above), or even a very simple thin piece that covers only the edge would be ok,too. In fact, i have seen very few fittings that can be identified as kopis scabard's, but we can speculate from the paintings...
Please post photos when you can!
