Hi Brennivs,

what you do is really great. Big Grin ?: I've heard in medieval times scabbards were inside out-fitted with fur, which was oiled a bit to prevent rust? I know a guy, how did so and it worked pretty good. Big Grin

Isn`t there already some natural lanolin on lambskin to protect the blades?

Tiberivs I have not come across any mention of fleece used in Roman sword Scabbards, the reason I think is the spit and polish the average soldier did. And depending which period, the soldiers sword would be used daily. Were as in the later history 5th AD onwards the references of fleece lined scabbards are mentioned as soldiers then were not useing swords the same way plus it seams to be the hierarchy would be the ones with the expensive sword, lined in such a way. This dose not mean a Roman Miles did not oil his blade because I do, whether its besswax,olive oil or lardvm. Also most references to fleece scabbards ie Saxon/Viking they were moving around on the seas that bit of extra protection would be welcome Big Grin

Wow! That is a great sword. How much did it cost you to make it?

EDIT: Oh, wait, you did the scabbard, which looks beautiful, really godo job (not to mention patience).

As for the spatha, did you make it or buy it?

yes, that's the context where the sword I meant did come from.
