First Sword Scabbard

[LRB]

   My first attempt at a sword scabbard. A bit of a challenge, but after three trys on the leather, it all worked out. All steel fittings. The tip is three pieces silver brazed together. Two halves and a bottom plug. The throat is also three pieces. The main body with a brazed seam in back, and 650° silver soldered top plate. The frog hook was made from a bar of 3/8" steel, sawed and filed to shape, then pinned and brazed to the throat. The sword was made by Jared Secrest under the guidance of Kyle Willyard,  light in weight, and wonderfully balanced.

Wick: Jim here, some months back you completed a commission for a sheath to house my "Woodhead & Hartley Sheffield" style knife. Thanks again. The first Sword Scabbard attempt looks to be the same high work quality as all of your items. Thanks for sharing the pictures with the form. AJ

Very nice work.  It must have been a challenge to get a center seam of that length so straight and even.  Can you tell us about the pins that hold the throat and tip in place?  How did you align the holes in the metal and the leather?  How did you get the pins in place when assembling?  How did you set/rivet the pins?  Did you use an adhesive?  Thank you

  I may have cheated on the pins. I barbed them and forced them into an undersized hole with a tiny dab of glue. They are pins and not rivets.

Thank you for your prompt reply.  I really like your scabbard.
