That is correct as you say it was only parts of a scabbard that were found which I do believe a few people have made, indeed I even made the coin for the lad in the II Avgvsta group who did make a copy.
What I find is that most who have made it have done it as almost a pompeii style for a blade of around 5cm width, however when I made my copy I did it as a Caesarian type for having read the the paperwork on it and seen the original pieces the size of the hangers indicate it would never have been a blade that wide.
I would even consider that the blade of the sword that went into that scabbard was not much more than 4cm wide.
As far as the mask is concerned I don't think it was hit by anything at all and it's only a trick of the light or small marks on the surface.
