Building a Kaskara

Hi Wallace ,
Here's a detailed picture with both hilt and suspension ring shown .

I believe the scabbard mounts may be thicker leather with a different, lighter hide band tacked over it .

Fortunately - for your purposes - some of my kaskara scabbards are in poor repair. Interestingly, on two of these scabbards it may be seen that the bulk of the suspension mount is made of layers of fabric. The fabric is then overlain by the overall outer covering leather layer and then a further applied decorative leather layer may be added on top of this.
