A set of scabbard fittings for building or restoring a Viking or Norman-style sword or seax scabbard.
A complete Viking or Norman scabbard was typically built from a wooden core, wrapped in leather, and finished with metal fittings at key wear points — most often a chape protecting the tip, and a locket or throat fitting reinforcing the opening where the blade was drawn and sheathed. These metal fittings were both practical, guarding the scabbard's most vulnerable points, and decorative, often carrying the same interlacing motifs found elsewhere in Norse and Norman metalwork.
Deepeeka offers this fitting set as a practical component for scabbard-building and restoration projects, part of our D-I-Y range.
Use for:
- DIY scabbard assembly and restoration projects
- Replacement fitting for an existing scabbard
- Costume and prop-making projects
- A practical component for building a custom Viking or Norman scabbard
- Museum-style display alongside a matching sword or seax
