The best you can do is see if someone over there has Miks. If I photograph it, there is distortion of scale. I am loath of scanning it as it is a very thick book and glued, not sewn, so comes unstuck easily. The scabbard under review is not identified as belonging to a Hispaniensis, loose find, it could equally have been for another type of sword and judging from the length, may belong to a type of Mainz (there are six types of Mainz in Miks, he sees Fulham as a variation).
