peter monahan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Brian Lucky guess! Yes, it's a repro. scabbard for my Brown Bess, used on the now rare occasion when I portray an enlisted swine at an 1812 re-enactment, rather than one of the gilded lily officers. And I suppose I'll now actually have to go ahead and do the repair, since you've called me on it. It won't happen much before winter but when it does I'll try to remember to take photos. Thanks for the offer of the plastic too. I'll keep it in mind. Sincerely, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What do you recommend for a leather scabbard whose wooden interior has broken in twain but whose outer leather shell is mostly intact? It seems to me that to repair it I will have to remove all the stitching and the leather sheath entirely, which I'm not keen to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hello callumm, Welcome to the forum, good to see more Canadians on board. Rule of thumb; if in doubt, don't mess with it. If on the other hand you decided to proceed you may very well have to remove the leather but make sire you have a good leather worker in mind who can restitch the leather. I have one such scabbard and as long as I take care when replacing the blade into the scabbard it looks just fine, so unless you are insistant upon repariing the wooden interior then be happy with the way it is. What sword or bayonet is it? Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
