Default types of scabbards of khevsur sabers and swords

There are few general details and elements that are helpful in establishing khevsur origin of the sword. Most of khevsur sword harness should have along its length small silver or brass embalishment scales (also protecting the leather of harness).
Also take a look at the connecting section , it is another element.
Keep in mind that khevsur scabbards are extencively protected by metall elements or compleately covered in brass or silver.

Of course there are diferences in curved or chiseld paterns, shapes of scabbard plates that came from diferent Khevsurian glens or communities. But those diferences are unnesasary to know for general attribution to Khevsureti region.
