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.
