I'm at the office right now, but as hlf said, it's pretty simple.

A, being the leading edge, where the quillions rest, should be cut to a length to accommodate the full diameter of the weapon being sheathed, plus a tolerance to allow ease of insertion and removal. In this instance, I used 8-9 oz. leather as the material for the sheath, and out of concern for my weapon I allowed additional tolerance for the inclusion of a faux fur insert to both protect the weapon and to allow a more snug fit. [The greenish fur you see out the back end]

B, the length from the lead edge to the trailing edge (farthest from where the quillions rest), should be sufficiently long enough to provide stability when holstered for the weapon, so use your best judgment here.

Additional note, if using a rigid medium such as unmilled leather, it may be best to provide additional cushioning along the leading edge [A] to both prevent damage to your weapon and prevent unnecessary wear to your sheath. I opted to do a simple cord weave along the leading edge with easily replaceable milled leather lace here.
