1840's Horstmann & Sons Militia Sword

[44thGa]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is producing a scabbard for the Militia NCO Sword produced by Horstmann and Sons. I have an original sword, but the leather on the original scabbard had rotted away. The sword I have was carried by my G-G-G-G-Grandfather in his service with the 10th Ga Cav. Any help is appreciated.

If you have the metal bits (drag, throat, rings), check with Nick Duvall.

Unfortunately, all I have is the throat. Thanks for the reply!
