Ring Pommel Sword and Scabbard FINISHED

[brennivs - tony drake]

Tiberivs I have not come across any mention of fleece used in Roman sword Scabbards, the reason I think is the spit and polish the average soldier did. And depending which period, the soldiers sword would be used daily. Were as in the later history 5th AD onwards the references of fleece lined scabbards are mentioned as soldiers then were not useing swords the same way plus it seams to be the hierarchy would be the ones with the expensive sword, lined in such a way. This dose not mean a Roman Miles did not oil his blade because I do, whether its besswax,olive oil or lardvm. Also most references to fleece scabbards ie Saxon/Viking they were moving around on the seas that bit of extra protection would be welcome
