Images of sheathes on this page

edit

The text states "Modern reconstructions of these sheaths which feature applied brass plates attached by rivets are incorrect and nothing of this type has ever been found." The images on this page display exactly such reconstructions. If riveted brass plates indeed are incorrect, we should have images without them. If none can be found we could add (ugly) notes to the captions of the images. Tomdo08 (talk) 14:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
