Sorry Robert if this has gone off topic, I never intended it to. I was simply saying that maybe?? the Romans traded with goods like timber spices etc etc. from the South America....and NO I don't have any evidence Matt Colletivs (please don't hang me for goodness sake!! ) just a theory and I still think a possibility. Maybe one day I'll research it for myself and see if there is any evidence of such trading.
Back to the topic of scabbards finished without leather.....my own personal taste is very much in favour of beautiful timber scabbards with no leather. As mentioned I have some holly on order for a grip and am looking at some different and unique types of hardwoods for some pommels and guards.
Thanks for the website link Patrick....I am grateful.
