As long as the one picked is also suitable for the Fulham type. I am 99% sure my sword can resemble well a Fulham. I've been looking at some of the pictures, and it's hard finding Long Windsors and Vindonesians examples. I usually see Mainz types. I saw one good fulham scabbard with a Pompey style terminal knob. I used a cereal box to create gutters. I can roll the end pretty well together and will fit nicely in a gap drilled into the piece. I will work on the bridge piece that joins the gutters at the beginning of the angle, which also covers the horizontal stitches. Now a question, the gutters will have to bend at a curve, now I've seen gutters on a scuttum be bent around the curve, and this is nowhere near as extreme, but can I possibly shape the to a slight curve. On my way home today I will buy that piece. I will also look for a slightly thicker brass sheet, get that for the cross hangers if they have it.
Last question is directed to anyone, but specifically Magnus. Is it a BAD thing, the way my handle has been made. It isn't 100% authentic, even though any wood remains have long rotten away so we don't know for sure anyway, but any remarks are welcome. The description is on page three.
