Thankfully the scabbards for these are quite simple to make; 2 boards cut in the particular form, scrape away the form of the blade from both boardsurfaces n bind the two together with some loose rattan from your old garden chair (IF you got rattan gardenchairs! he he he). Voilah!!

Actually this sounds much more fun than buying one in good condition!
'hands-on-antiques'
Also saw your other lowland? tenegre; your getting a nice Philippine arms collection!
Succes!
Hi Wouter,

when I will have one day boredom it will be a project! Have still a very nice antique sheath but this one don't fit.

Greets,
