Detlef. Thank you very much for your kind words and for the link to your wonderful binangon. Yes it is a shame that the scabbard is missing on mine but one of these days if I cannot find an original one that it will fit properly I will carve one myself. Unfortunately I have many projects ahead of it.
Dimasalang, I thank you also for the pictures of your wonderful binagon. If you would, could you post a picture that shows the complete scabbard of yours? The one that you have (except for the hilt being of wood) looks so much like mine that I believe a scabbard in the same style as yours might also be appropriate for mine. What are your thoughts on this?
Again my thanks to everyone for their help.
Robert
