Inspired by Alexander's excellent posts above I decided to have a go at making scabbard suspension parts based on both the Porto Novo and Rajkova-Mogila scabbards.
I started with a strip of .032 brass and annealed it. I then marked the width of the scabbard and a centreline and then using a blunt centre punch and two layers of leather I punched the dot decoration. I then used a vice to hold either side of the punched dots and form a triangular profile.
