the third piece has an unusual take on its scabbard. heck, i just noticed it today, lol. the part that's facing out (same side as the belt loop), is made out of carabao horn, while the other side is narra wood. not that it's outstanding now, but i can just imagine this piece when it was newly made. the black carabao horn bordered by silver throat and toe would have been stunning! that, with silver crosspiece, red swaasa ferrule, and white ivory pommel would've stood out pretty good. btw, the crosspiece is made from a coin. you could vaguely see the roman letter "L" on one of the tips.
