Hacking up a sword
Sir Edward:
Yeah, some of these might work. Others are way too fantasy for my tastes (for faire).
Out of Chuck's suggestions, these wouldn't be bad: (and I wonder if I kept more of the blade, if that would keep a leather scabbard rigid and also give me more surface area to epoxy):

... though that last one is a little later period I think.
And Sir Brian suggested this one last year:

Sir Brian:
Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that one!
...hmm that looks pretty good and a decent price as well!
Sir Edward:

I decided to try the one above. For $20, it's hard to go wrong. If I ruin it, I'm not out a lot of money. :) I may leave more of the blade on it than I originally planned, and use it to keep the scabbard rigid. I'm not sure I want to take much time and effort to make a hard scabbard for it.
Ugh, I can't believe I ordered a $20 SLO. :)
Sir Wolf:
put a piece of wood down in the scabbard. that should keep it rigid
Sir Edward:
True, I could do that. :)
