Shashka scabbard mountings suggestions?

[Yannis]

For me also is the first time that I see an ivory mount. I wonder how strong can it be to hold the weight of the sword.

Is it possible to be holow with metal inside?

For the rest fittings I say ivory too, exept the top throat.

When you have the most difficult part of ivory, the rest that they have no presure, could be ivory too. A very strange scabbard indeed.
