Here is Ellen's completed scabbard. The sword is big; (49 in. long). I made a wooden core for the scabbard and Ellen covered it with alligator embossed leather, hand cut and sewn. Fancy lacing down one side. Studded leather strips cover seams in the leather, and buckles for attaching the scabbard to a belt (or sash). This is a "display" sword, not a real one but you could really hurt somebody with it. It is real steel. Ellen will be using this prop with her knight outfit that I posted a photo of earlier. There is armor in the making for her horse as well. She'll use this outfit for parades and events. I'll get photos of her as wearing all this stuff as soon as I can get her to put it all on. It takes about a half an hour just to put all this stuff on.
