The dark brown scabbard is richly decorated according to the customer's wishes, featuring a medieval version of the Moravian coat of arms with an eagle and a checkered pattern. Below this lies a highly detailed floral motif. The scabbard tip is finished with a brass chape.
The dark red belt is fitted with a set of brass fittings.

Note: This sword, like any handcrafted sword in the medieval style, can have traces of the manufacturing process, minor irregularities or asymmetries resulting from the specificity of real craftsmanship and medieval understanding of aesthetics, that are completely normal and do not affect the quality of the sword, but give it a unique original character, consistent with medieval objects of the same kind.
