Stephen,

Lovely pair that you've got there
What is the top scabbard covered with? Is it leather or canvas?
I'm going to need to repair and recover mine.

Thanks for the compliment. The scabbard covering is leather.
Great research! The quality of your picture is excellent. Jim McDougall and a buddy of mine did the research that found the photo for me. The photo is in the book "Northwest Frontier: People and Events 1839-1947" by Arthur Swinson (N.Y.1967). See more discussion here http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=nagawarrior
