David, I feel a bit silly I hadn't even thought about the leather being shaped to accomodate the shape of the throat when folded over, having said that if I tuck the leather into the scabbard throat it doesn't sit very well inside and I would have thought that someone that took the time to scallop the leather so neatly would have made a better job if the tags were to be glued inside the scabbard. I think I'm 50/50 on this, I can't see any evidence of glue either on the leather or the wooden surface inside the scabbard and the leather is quite secure right up to the lip of the scabbard mmmmm????? food for thought.
Regards,
Norman.
