This book doesn't really have "patterns" exactly, but it does have enough good pictures and text to get you started in my opinion. It is Knives and Scabbards by J. Cowgill, M. de Neergaard and N. Griffiths ISBN 0-11-2901440-8

I guess I am asking too much?
Or is no one really interested?

Well, it's very much a specialist topic. I don't know of anything devoted to that specifically, and surviving scabbards are not profuse. Your best bet would probably be funerary brasses. How-to advice can be had, but pattern catalogs or the like? Never heard of such...
