Scabbard Progress Update, September 6, 2017... Main Terminal Scabbard Plate nearly finished... Note: The original Main Terminal Scabbard plate and the Triangular Chape Plate where original archeological finds from a "MAINZ" Sword Scabbard. My Client has a "Fulham" Scabbard. These plates had to be "Re-drawn" by hand and scaled down to fit. My client and I also decided to stay accurate, however, to make things a little more balanced and symmetrical. From a lot of my research on these type of scabbard plated where the Insignia on the terminal plate is most likely the Insignia on that Legion's Scutum Shields, this design natural becomes a little crooked as the metal moves during the repousse process. So... here is the Terminal plate... It still needs an inscription in the barren name plate at the top, the outside border has to have the "Rope" pattern put into it and... a few things need to be etched in the background...
