Pompeii scabbard question
#1
Salvete everyone! I am asking a simple question for my scabbard I'm making. I'm using a pompeii style chape, with no decorative plate, but I want a good authentic picture, diagram, or example of the "shell" feature where the gutter ends on the chape. Thanks for anyone who knows,

That has helped me quite a bit, possibly all I need. The degree and angle of the lines,is basically all I need, these have shown a couple and I'm sure I can draw an conclusion. I will make the design tonight, and possibly punch it tomorrow, as well as finally get around to casting the terminal knob :lol: Thank you Mr. Demetrius any more suggestions are welcome till the "too late already messed it up " post :mrgreen:
