Jacques, was there enough of the original scabbard remaining for you to be able to describe it's construction? I ask as considering you have the original fittings, were this in my collection, I would seriously consider having a replacement scabbard professionally made.

Only a peace of wood around ten inches long in the remaining from the scabbard. Sadly there is no one in Peru who can acomplish a professional recreation of it.
