Does anyone know where I can get one? WKC have a new one for 295 euros which I think is a little step - does anyone have any other suggestions?
Best Wishes,
Simon

Scooby... When you purchase a sword with a scabbard that has been manufactured... of course the scabbard will cost less. Everything is standardized and they are making 100's at a time. But to have one made for your sword you can expect to pay a minimum of $475.00USD. Much time, materials, woodwork, leather work, custom made /cast parts. fitting, etc. goes into making "one" scabbard to fit a particular sword.
If you can get one for 295 euros... you should consider that one.
I make Scabbards... but specialize in 1st Century Rome...

Thanks for the info. Your point on the time and effort that goes into making one makes sense - and I will follow your advice!
Thanks for the input.
