15th-16th.c scabbard

Set of scabbard/sword belt, "rain-guard" and grip cover for a type XVIII.a (composite) sword forged by Gaël Fabre.

For the creation of the "rain-guard" and the grip I was inspired by a piece kept in the Bayeriches Museum. At the request of the customer the scabbard was matched with the floral pattern of the fuse.

Characteristics of the scabbard/sword-belt :

- Custom made lime wood core assembled with bone glue

- Covering in vegetable-tanned leather dyed with iron acetate

- Steel chape

- Sword belt in vegetable tanned leather dyed with iron acetate

- Silver plated bronze buckles

Characteristics of the "rain-guard"/grip :

- "Rain-guard" in vegetable tanned leather hardened with animal gelatine (boiled leather), blackened with iron acetate

- Grip cover in vegetable tanned leather glued with hide glue, blackened with iron acetate
