acceptable to repaint the scabbards to reflect the condition of the blades..just doesnt display well,especially with minty portepees
attached.
Opinions,please

Hey! As janjan said, it would be a sin to do so. Leave them as they are and you will be better off. There is no point repainting a scabbard. It should display age and in fact, most people prefer seeing some usage to them. ALL IN ALL, DO NOT REPAINT A SCABBARD Smile
