Now to just get a piece of leather. I got a scabbard suspender but I don't think it's historically accurate at all.

As long as it is taking for my custom scabbard and suspension to come from Slayer Leatherworks, I may have been better served doing it myself!  I'm just venting...its gonna be fabulous WHEN I get it.  

Still...this is a good alternative, cheaper than Tandy is a definite plus, especially for those DIY'rs...speakin of which, anyone seen Silvanus of late?

You know I was thinking about that recently. He did create his new account, but I haven't seen him. I hope everything's OK. I'm guessing he's just been busy or something.

Shoot him an email and check, maybe he got locked out or something or dragged off by wild dogs and can't get into the forum

He replied to my email, and he's going through a little bit of a rough patch right now. I think he'll be back when he's ready.
