Hello,
How are you guys?
hope all is well with everybody.

This is Aleksey,
Would like to introduce forum members to scabbard repair
services that are now available. Repairs are done by my father
who has been a wood and leather craftsman for a while.
I got him interested in my hobby a little while back.
He does really good work on islamic and middle-eastern scabbards.
SHAMSHIRS, KILIJ's, yataghans, etc...

He can offer wood and leather work for sword scabbards.
Perfectly fitted antiqued leather, in persian style with hidden seam (you cant see seam on the back), historically accurate leather tooled designs, ottoman style stitching with silver, brass, copper, or even gold. Fittings fitted and secured by leather, not glue. Museum quality scabbard restoration.
Scabbards look and feel incredible!

If you have a sword/dagger you were considering restoring/making
a scabbard for, PM or email me (alex@pcparts.org), Be happy to discuss
the possibilities. We are in Atlanta, GA.

Below you can check out some examples of his work:
(type of work completed: leather or wood/leather)
