A question on scabbards, as I can't find a overly good reference for it, does anybody know of other materials used to cover scabbards other than leather in the 12-14th century? As I want to cover my Hanwei practical scabbard and make it look more period, I have found many how to and pics for ref, just next to nothing for covering... cheers..
