Scabbard
Here are a few images of the scabbard which came with this Kukri. The seller's images were quite poor so the quality of the scabbard was a complete surprise (and added bonus). It has seen better days. Much of the quill-work has worn away, but that which remains is quite lovely. It is the only example of quill-work in my collection.

Lovely scabbard to have Russel! Congrats, it all helps bring the piece together.
quill work is quite rare indeed... Clearly the right scabbard for that kukri & same era as well. The Chapes not right & much later , but who cares? love the strap & side scabbard work particularly! Thanks for sharing! spiral |

the blade shape of the ivory one reminds me of my salyan khukuri: (landscape is of Salyan in Nepal)
