Thank you Robert eye has improved but still may be a week before fully healed 
Crispvs my sources for the scabbard are mostly from stele from the Bosphorus area and as ever in Greek, the sites are Russian so just used the pictures as a guide.
I could not find the site I was on which had a good 3 or 4 stele, as you can see show the scabbard looking the same and in a Roman context. Now cams across one that may be in a wood scabbard with metal banding,
Again the straps could be attached from the back or other ? There is also a interesting piece of statue that shows the leg of someone in fine dress,
The only thing is is seams to have a solid hilt and of a good size. Now the other type found but is beyond the borders from grave finds and very decorative is this type,
As you can see from the scabbard it does not match so that is why I choose the type I made. So I hope this gives you an Idea of my thoughts
As ever always welcome any input and corrections.
Regards Brennivs
