I have this plain leather sword hanger. I've seen others similar that have a regain hook on the metal stud at the belt end. It appears this one never had a hook as there's no evidence of it being broken off. Can anyone tell me which Japanese sword this would be appropriate for? Also presume there is an attachment missing from the belt end, or was the leather strap folded over and buttoned onto the hanger on the belt?

Regards
Russell
