Dirk scabbard

The brass scabbard is decorated with an 'ermine' pattern, with two brass bands in the form of rope, each with a ring and a button instead of a chape. The scabbard is lined with wood, which is secured in place by screws at the throat, which are now missing. Engraved on the reverse of the scabbard at the top is the name 'Kay', executed in the English round hand style.
