Hello Jerseyman,

I am pretty sure that this scabbard had brass bands, and not rattan or horn like others.

Best regards,
Willem

I'm with Willem here: Looks like staining left by brass bands.

The missing mouthpiece of the scabbard might have been from wood (or horn) - anyway, seems to have been covered by brass, too.

Regards,
Kai

Yes, most probably brass bands like by the upper one in the picture.
