Allegedly, these photos show a sword that fits into a coiled metal snake. It was made in Toledo, Spain in the Nineteenth Century to demonstrate the flexibility of the steel and the skill of the craftsmen who worked it.
Allegedly? The Smiths of Toledo would have had no difficulty accomplishing this. Steel, being remarkably flexible could easily conform to the inner contours of this scabbard, yet still be rigid enough to be a formidable weapon. IMHO.
