Robert,
Do you have the straps for your leather scabbard ?
I seen a couple complete 44 dated real ones for sale @ $400 and up..IIRC
Curious as I ran across a set of Repro straps being offered on Ebay.
But they show the buckles and hooks with a bright brass color.
I'm not familiar enough with them to tell if the hooks are the same shape/style as original ones.

Anyone know if the originals were a bright Brass ?
Or were they blackened like our carbine sling snaps ?
The aged originals I see show the hardware with a black or maybe tarnished finish ?

Just curious...... As if needed I have a few thoughts on how to drop the brass hardware shine and get a black finish.

Auction example of hardware style and color..
