Hi Jose,

Does this mean that the scabbard was made so that you could cut through the rattan instead of unsheathing the panabas? This scabbard has a screw at the tip for a pivot. Possibly it was originally just rattan holding the scabbard halves in place.

Bill, I suppose that is possible if there are no other pins used on it. Yes the idea was a quick draw from the scabbard. My scabbard has more pins on the back side and open on the other side, similar construction to your scabbard.
