I got the Hobbit version of the knives at Christmas, and I was lucky to find a set of scabbards on Ebay 1 month later... I can post pictures later - anything in particular you're interested in?

I have the first version set on my wall. I can take a few pics. Is there anything in particular you want to see?
These are perfect! Am I reading you right that you have the Hobbit version of the knives, and the LOTR scabbards?
This is the Hobbit set-up, correct? The measurements will definitely help me, thank you!Correct, the scabbards are white/mother-of-pearl. The Lord of The Rings: Weapons and Warfare book calls them The White Knives, "because of the pearlescent scabbards."
Some stats from that book:
Length: A little under 2 feet.
Handle: About 8 inches long.
Blade: 16-inch.

This whole thing is blowing my mind... I know he go new gear in Lothlorien, so the Hobbit style scabbards on the Mirkwood Quiver makes sense. But like you said, these are definitely on the Lothlorien kit..It might just be that image. Here's a shot from Helms Deep where you can see the gold more clearly:

What's strange is that those scabbards are closer to the design of the Hobbit ones, but they're attached to the Lothlorien quiver.
