Avete,
I found this specimen on wikipedia :
![[Image: 450px-Goldgriffspatha.jpg]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Goldgriffspatha.jpg/450px-Goldgriffspatha.jpg)
I'm curious about the slider on the scabbard.
How would you suppose the baldric runs through it ?
It looks like it uses a rope or lacing of some kind.
I've never seen this method of attachment to a belt or baldric.
BTW, this is the latest example of a spatha I've ever seen. I hope to find even later examples.
