Thank you for kind words.
Kubur, I did not change the character of the scabbard, since the dagger was used with this, maybe scabbard replacement for a long time ... The signs of long use are visible, there is some patina on it. For me it is also "remembrance" (maybe similarly like for "colonel Yusuf"). I know it is not spectacular piece, and so I just decided to repair damage. If I replace also the scabbard, it would not recall me the situation and place, when I see it in the future. Regards, Martin |
