Now I dare too
Vern, I think the hewer has been to heavy for this hanger when worn "daily". Therefore you very seldom do see an undamaged one. This might also beeing the reason that one of your hangers has been (I can imagine during period) sewn to the hewer. On your scond hanger the small leather strap for sure is not originally manufacturd but probably period rdone after the original one has been torn. The hanger is also missing the leather metalclip-protection flap. This flap can be seen an all hangers, early (more thick leather) and leater (thin leather) ones.
For those who are interested: The two hewers left/middle have etched numbers on the blade,the hewer to the right has a very low, stamped number on the blade. The corresponding numbers on the scabbards are always stamped.
