Hi Ian,

I also won't hijack Jeff's thread but I am nearly sure that he doesn't mind.
I bought the scabbard years ago for peanuts from a weapons forum in Spain (!), the Sulu barung, it's a shandigan blade, I bought years later at an auction and I was very surprised that the scabbard fits the blade nearly perfectly. And I think that it's a matching pair.

Best regards,
Detlef
