Great work Patrick, keep going with it and you will reap the benefits. 
Doc, as you say many of the intricate decorations on belt plates and some scabbard lockets are indeed punched out, but I agree with Brian that repousse' was also used on scabbard lockets like he has noted...the Fulham and Tiberius, and I would suggest many others. The sheets that were used are very thin, and therefore easily workable by hand.
