Hullo Gustav,
As you well know, during the life of a blade, it may undergo various changes of dress. When undergone properly, of course they should always fit ‘perfectly’.
By 'original', I mean as at the time it left the ‘original owner’. So I guess what you’re saying is that THAT particular sheath came with the blade when handed over by the then owner, back in 1521.
Thank you for your input.

Best,
