Jens,
NO no, the scabbard's the right lenth,...... On one side anyway!!........It's just that the 'outside' has been broken off level with the centre fitting.
If you think it needs new wood, I could make it, and fix it up with the old fittings, plus it needs an upper fitting making.
Didn't know wether I should just add new wood to the broken parts.

The red under the fittings is something like very thin copper sheet, The inside looks a copper colour, yet the outside seen through the holes in fittings, is a bright red. Not sure what it is.....Doesn't appear painted on.

Yes, I made the little flowers, I had a bit of silver sheet.

BI,
thank you for posting pictures of the wee flower, might alter mine a bit to look more like this one!

Does anyone have a photo of an upper fitting, to show me where it sits, etc?
Looks to me that it would have to be below the langets?

Thank you again!
