Link to the original scabbard mount...
The dimensions of the sword scabbard throat are 5.2 x 1.5 cm.
The inlet for the sword is 4.8 x 1.2 cm.
Due to the rather small dimensions, this scabbard throat is perfectly suited for a sax scabbard.
The throat is made of high-quality bronze and is also available in real silver-plated.
The scabbard throat is attached to the scabbard and is best fixed to the side with a so-called gap-filling adhesive. In addition, there are small openings in the motif so that supplementary securing with thin pins or nails is also possible.
