Thanks Folkert.
The Scabbard is made by Hans Binsfeld:

Franck Mathieu makes very good sword and scabbards!

Look at his new swords hock: : http://www.archeoart.org/diaporama1/index.html
But for a second one i will go to victor berbekucz: http://www.berbekuczviktor.hu/
He made an execellent sword for one of our members after an archeological draft!
Yes we don`t use much checkered clothes. If you look at the textile findings in the graves (on swords, lances, fibulae etc.) and the many textile fragments from the salt mines at hallstatt and hallein (the date not just into the hallstatt period) you find more fragments with stripes or just one coulour. But a lot of colours!
Yes like this Yellow!!! Easy to dye with birchleaves. But a mixture of these coulours are maybe more for the noble ones.
Ok enough of topic! ;-) )
