I'd be interested to see how you deal with that strange looking fitting on the rear of the scabbard. Is it some kind of attachment for the belt?

Good point Svlla
I have done a quick study last night and mentioned it to the client;
1. Is it Roman :?:
2. If not was it converted by a Roman to take rings :?:
4. Or was it converted from a Roman sword to take a chain belt :?:
5. The fitting on the back looks like it had a chain belt fitted as it shows
some wear :?:
As ever I might be going down the wrong road :lol: So if anyone has thoughts on it I would like to hear
D many questions.

Lvcivs thats what had me thinking it has a Roman element and a Celtic element. Which is why I thought that at some point it was converted :? Hmm.

In my opinion isn't this suspension typical "Celtic" either...
"Celtic" suspension systems do normally have a simple vertical loop,
through that go's a leather strap that connects the two iron rings...

Yes that is another thing most Celtic swords have a slide on the back. but If the sword doesnt have a metal back to put the slide on so could this be away of being able to attach a belt too. Again interesting
