I have a project on the books, and am nearing the point where I must decide whether to have my fork/spoon side by side or over/under on the sheath (the by-knife is going to be at the bottom, thats a given). I have researched several sources of dirks (Scottish Swords and Dirks by John Wallace/The Scottish Dirk by James D. Forman), but can find little save the comment that some originals had the by-pieces side by side. I would like to use a center seam back scabbard, with the appearance that it was salvaged from the same sword that the dirk is made from, but with the by-piece keepers "added".

Does anyone have information or photos on how they mounted/overlapped the pieces/scabbard extras? Should I be looking at trousse setups for reference as well?
