Hello Maurice,

Quote:
Here images of the tip of the scabbard where once a band had been. It is approximately 3 cm wide.
That's too wide for most woven rattan bands; also those shadows appear to have smooth sides which would fit metal bands better than usually more rugged rattan, too.

May not be conclusive but I'd tend towards 2 metal rather than rattan bands for this scabbard.

Regards,
Kai
