I've had a look in Pugio-Gladius Brevis Est Saliola/Casprini but am struggling to locate the exact find it is based upon.
Many thanks for any advice 
Try "
Katalog der Militaria aus Vindonissa Militärische Funde" it may be in there somewhere...
Edit: The complete Vindonissa scabbard plate is in "Roman Military Equipment" Bishop & Coulston see No7 page 77 (first edition) a reasonable repro in detail though the original looks somewhat narrower too my eye.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
