I have some very simple original ones, just pieces of sheet brass with holes in each corner. Then there are the slightly fancier ones, sheet brass with silver foil folded over it. No punching, no nuthin..... these are probably more common than you think, they are just so plain, you don't see them in the books. There have been many Gladii recovered from the graves of Auxilliaries, and all they found was the blade. If there was a scabbard,(and in all liklihood there was), it was completely organic, and left no trace.<br>
