Cavalry and Scythian Impressions

[Sagittarii]

I stripped the kopis/falcata scabbard and hey! Turns out it is made from some sort of wood cardboard hybrid!


Anyway, recovered it in layers of glue and calico and sealed it with a lacquer to give it some sort of waterproofing.



Made the baldric from cotton, (lets pretend it is goat hair), and attached to new leather hangers. Reused the brass chape and mouth.



 I was going to remake the opening so it had the mouth that encased the first part of the hilt. But there was no point. I'll make a proper scabbard when I make a better kopis.

I love this one.
