Quote:Help- translation needed! I've just had the pictures of the Al Hamdd scabbard, and they have copied the engraving above- up to and including the shading as lines on the scabbard mouth piece.Mouthpiece (of scabbard) : Find location: Castellum or Hill Fort (Hod Hill): Bronze: stripe-shaped; endings overlap at the backside : Middle section of the frontside (Schauseite) has a bow-shaped lower edge; decorated with round-eyes and gravures.
The German in Miks reads "Mundblech : Fundpl: Kastell oder Hill Fort (Hod Hill): Bronze: bandformig mit sich ruckseitig uberlappenden Enden: Mittlebereich der Schauseite mit bogenformiger Unterkante sowie Kreisaugen- und Gravurdecor."
hope this helps a bit...
best,
Carsten
