Default resto tips

Lofty,

If wanting to go down this road, I would suggest getting in touch with Aleksey

http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...rd+restoration

Fittings, typically I have seen the following, a single double ring fitting as seen on Saif & Kilij, the same with one ring, a single ring only with wrapped leather and I am sure other methods were used too.

Thanks Gav!

I have contacted Alexsey before so this scabbard may go to USA soon but since Alexsey cant make fittings then I must make them here.

I know for one that the fittings are usually silver on this type so maybe a jeweller can make them? Shouldnt be too hard if he makes it based on examples.

Wouls love some photos I have checked Artzi's site and there are no zooms on the fittings.

(ps: do these have drags?)
