			Blade length to Hilt ratio looks correct so we must assume that knfe itself is not altered. The scabbard therefore would appear to be made for the knife, but I suppose COULD have been made in two parts, though I have not seen one made this way before.

			Thank you  for your interests, insights and comments.  Time to wrap this one up. I've included a comparision photo of the same blade mounted in different styles. One was made for the blade and the other was modified to accomodate the larger blade.  I think I'm just a bit  closer to the casting therory the silver and gold sheaths all appear to be one piece versus the the brass copper and steel sheaths are two pieces soldered together.
