Help - Valkenberg Scabbard in Leiden Museum
#1
Help needed for a project.

Does anybody have so high quality photographs of the Valkenberg scabbard as seen in Feugere (fig 146) and displayed in the Leiden Museum? I have some photos from the excellent Romans Ireland website but really need something a little sharper to work from.

Any assistance much appreciated.

Sometimes it might be worth printing off your pics and with a black pen draw around the image to highlight it this might bring the picture up if there are no line drawings of it that anyone has.

Hi Barry,
If the photos you get from this thread aren't good enough, remind me when I'm back from vacation. I can probably help you. Big Grin
