			It is not unusual to have a scabbard replaced...they only last a fraction of the swords life though occasionally one survives....what interests me is the group of 4 suns . I don't think this is gold but it may be... It is more likely to be high content copper mixed in the brass...but unless a test is done ...Jewellery shop nitric acid you will not know. What weapon did I see with the same or similar group of suns?  Kora...See below;
