Two hangers/short swords

Regarding the Dutch maker, he has a sword in the Victoria and Albert Museum, I believe.

So no one has a theory on the ring guard on the French hanger?

I have the hunting dagger with very similar handle design, but I was under impression that it’s German. So, this one if French too?

Hello Alex. Sorry for the late reply!! I must have missed your posting. I am still under the belief that yours is also a 'French style'. Neumann has several pictured in 'Swords and Blades of the American Revolution'. I'm away from my books, but I remember one with the exact (or nearly exact) eagle (?) cross guard on one of those listed.
