Ethiopian scabbard: to fake or not to fake

Roano,

That really is fantastic work. You've obviously studied the details of the patterns on Ethiopian scabbards as well.

I have one gurade that came with a "museum quality" replacement scabbard. I'll post a few pics later. If actually is really nice work, but it took a little bit a liberty with the fittings. Still, like you say, it's nice to have a good scabbard.
