All parts of the hilt and the scabbard mounts are coin silver, the ribbon around the carved bone grip is hand rolled from bar stock, the chain is hand forged from bar stock. The finial on the scabbard throat is based on a patch box finial on a Jacob Dickert rifle, the scabbard tip is based on a patch box finial on a Christian Beck rifle. All the engraving was done by the late Ron Ehlert. The blade was forged by Frank House and has his touch-mark. The leather part of the scabbard was done by Norbert Buss. The design of the hanger is based on a sword in the Corchran Gallery.
