I'm gonna do some tests with oil paint. In the meantime, could anyone recommend custom metalworkers who might be able to make an embossed bronze or brass facing to fit around the expanded throat as on Achaemenid scabbards? I've already written to Manning Imperial since I figure the skills involved would be similar to making bronze armor, but it'd be good to have a range of price estimates.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

To pick myself up from under this table...
