Those funky scabbard rings are cropping up so often I'm beginning to think they're real.
Johnson used to sell that style of scabbard ring as 'left over stock', one type in alloy and the other in solid nickle, the alloy ones had a more rounded profile and the nickle ones a more square one like the one's on this dagger shown here, like I said they are appearing so often now that I couldn't really say whether they were period or not
