You can do it using the etching.

In fact, i want to do a "A" type scabbard, but i don't have any time now. When i beginn, if you want, i can make another tutorial.

Salve,

If it is of any use, Len morgan makes basic type 'A' blades and a plain iron scabbard to go with them. Usually he supplies them assembled, but I'm sure he could supply them to you as a basic kit.

His email is fatalis2'AT'tiscali.co.uk He can be a bit slow with replying, but keep trying.

Vale,

Celer.

Lvcivs,

Very impressive! I only hope I can do as well when I finally get around to engraving my sheath plate. Laud point given.

One small point: when you rework the sheath, please add a rivet (preferably with a largish head) through the centre of the terminal expanion. All of the surviving examples which have retained their terminal expansions (apart from the Exeter frame sheath) which I am aware of show evidence of having been pierced by a rivet.
