Salve Brennius and Peroni,
There are scabbard-slides that have the pins bent towards the top and bottom of the scabbard, I interpret this as a slide that was hammered into the front lathe of the scabbard through the leather before the scabbard was assembled. The two parts of the scabbard was then glued together and the leather or fabric covering was then sewed in place on the back. It would certainly make for a very secure fitting.
What do you think?
Vale,
Celer.
