Greetings friends,

Scabbard Wanted for purchase! On the small chance that someone has one lying around

I have a German Made French Model 1850 Foot Officer's Sword. This sword was made by Samuel Hoppe in Solingen, Germany. The ricasso is marked on the right side; ‘S. Hoppe FI Solingen’ with the Hoppe beehive mark. The spine is marked Manuf re Nlle de Chatellerault. This sword has a single-edged 77 cm blade and is 2.6 cm in width at the hilt. The sword is 0.50 cm thick at the hilt. The correct scbbard would be ideal, but one that would fit and is similar to the original is ok.

Here is a photo of my example and one that I believe has an original scabbard.
