Hello, Nadeem
Welcome to the Type 1 Sarmatian sword club! Converting the Chinese sword to Xiong-nu or Alanic is easy and fun. For the grip and slide binding, I used cotton twine, available by the "ball" in my local hardware store.
I think the armor depicted is lamellar, or lamellar and scale in combination. I tried making a comment on your Facebook page, but Facebook never allows me to comment. I type it in, and then nothing happens. :dizzy:
