Specifically the design of the so called lightning bolts, I have a picture of a scabbard that I would like to identify if possible to a maker, the odd thing is the short "arrow" like section highlighted, usually these are short lightning bolts.

Hello Baz69, due to the very distinct ring holders, the scabbard bands and the special pointed acanthus(?) ornament at the scabbard end for me this scabbard is clearly an ALCOSO product. Normally ALCOSO navy scabbards also have the short/long lightning ornament at the scabbard end and I donĀ“t know why th short lightnings are reduced to only spears. Perhaps the ornament was done by an unskilled worker or the worker wanted to save time, we will never know.
Best regards,


wotan, gd.c-b#105

Thanks Wotan

Seems the consensus is that it is an Alcoso scabbard, possibly something we have not observed before but still original.

Cheers

Gary
