Etch the blade and see what comes out.

On the scabbard, the most I would do is place bands of either brass or silver. Otherwise leave the wood alone. On the blade, it should have a clamp on it, maybe silver, as well as etch it.
Thanks, I don't suppose you have any pictures of examples of how the scabbard should look, or ideas for remaking the clamp do you?

I can see some areas where it looks like there were originally bands on the scabbard. What do you think these holes were for?
