And here is the translation ! It wasn't an easy one (English isn't my first language), so if anything is unclear, feel free to ask me and I will try to rephrase it with my own words.

I want to add to the information contained in that extract that it only covers scabbards made in the Hoggar during the first part of the 20th century, and that scabbards made elsewhere or in a different time period might have been done differently.

Thank you for sharing this. I did wonder how they were made. I have seen some battered ones at fairs that seem to have paper or card used as well, probably recent productions.

This is excellent. Your translation is perfect. It answered several questions and made it much more clear to me.
Thank you

Thanks a lot to you all ! I have no problem translating from English to French, but the other way around is way more tricky for me, especially when the French text itself is in written in somewhat old-fashioned way...
