A few questions on how this pugio scabbard is built...it is the "Late Pugio and scabbard" by Deepeek:<br>

It looks like the scabbard metal is one piece. But then, much to my pleasure I was on Matt Amt's site and found this picture of a pugio by Godfrey Knight:<br>

<br>
This scabbard looks to be a lot easier. It seems to be built like a pompeii scabbard...side rails with cross bands over top, and a finial on the bottom end.<br>
<br>
I think Godfrey's design would be much easier to reproduce. What do you guys think? <p>Magnus/Matt<br>
