The scabbard has bands in lieu of lockets, which are decorated with an oak leaf motif and an engraved ridge at the foot of the band. The top and mid locket bands are 10mm wide. The original slings are attached and the upper sling is 305mm long and the lower sling is 457mm long. The slings are fitted with oval buckles with a circular plaque at each end bearing a lion's face. The buckles are 69mm long. Gilt spring clips are fitted at each end of the slings and leather loops are incorporated for attaching them to a belt. The slings are made of dark blue cloth lined with dark blue velvet. A steel chain with a hook is fitted to the upper sling presumably to secure the dirk to a greatcoat.
