Lionhead Sword w/Nickel scabbard ?

[maximus71]

Hi All,
I have a chance at a really good deal on this honest WKC Lion Head Sword, my question is about the scabbard being dress nickel finish instead of the usual black, was this a private purchase choice? I do not see many like this, I just want to make sure its possible and not a replacement scabbard or not original to the sword, thanks for any help!!!!

What do you guys think?

Sorry I can't help much with this but for what it's worth I've never seen a scabbard like this one.
I'm curious to see what the others have to say.
Good luck!

Ask for a picture of the sword next to the scabbard to see if the length corresponds!

Thanks for the link, the length does match for the blade and scabbard, I think it was a private purchase option, maybe it was used for parade and not dress? I wonder if Ade has any knowledge on this...hmmmmm

Wow I really have to get some of those catalogs!! I wish it only cost 1.60RM now lol, but a nice piece like this for 400 isnt so bad nowadays, most of them are well over 600 and I think the nickel scabbard is a classy touch!

Forgot to ad it's model number 1016 with the political eagle on the langet (short winged)
