Thread: Sword hanger?

    Sword hanger?

    I was looking to place some relics of the same period in a riker box. Solid brass and unadorned. Searching various web sites I have not nailed it down. Hoping someone knows these.
    Thanks!

    Bruce i at first thought those brass loops and such resembled a sword hanger , wishful thinking i guess they are in fact harness related (oxen or horse) some are called gagloops heres a picture of a couple in an old farming advertisement
