Hi everyone

Whilst not specifically a shooting topic, it is related.
I need to replace the leather on the scabbard of my 1907pattern sword bayonet, does anyone know anyone/ anywhere that might have or be able to make such an item in leather?
I don’t mind about it being period or reproduction, but mine is literally falling apart and needs replacement

I just checked out Tod’s website and whilst I am impressed by his work I think he’s a bit out of my price range. I’ve seriously bought cars for less than that.

He may be slightly pricey but he only uses genuine unicorn leather. lol

Moore Leather. Used to frequent this forum. Tardy, obnoxious, heathen Maccem, but his work is good and keenly priced.

I'd be careful about sending money to him judging by posts on other forums in recent years.

I've known Jon for 25 years and traded with him a lot. What's said on other forums is certainly not a true reflection.
