Hello Jose,

I also agree that the scabbard bands were originally gold filigree, possibly with enamel as well.

I can't remember seeing any scabbard stem rings with enamel.
If there were any bands originally, I'd bet on suasa. However, the most pristine examples seem to come without any bands; my guess is that these were usually added to fix a scabbard (for rencong and nobility siwaih) while for other daggers bands of precious metals are well known.
Regards,
Kai
