Nice work!
I plan to use a jeweller's saw too, though I think the Romans would probably have used chisels to do this kind of work. I wonder how it's possibe to do such fine work, some of the originals are so elaborate and detailed!
A question:
Did the top plate always wrap around the top of the scabbard or could it be held on by the guttering too (so inserted in the guttering like the rest of the plates)?
Vale,
