Thank you for your diplomatic candidness, Udo; feel free to doubt my words. Do i notice that some examles that you show are partisans ?
Well, even partisans don't have side straps (langets) some times; i have a beautiful Swedish example only held to the pole with a pin.
As i firsty asked; do you have Neumanns's work ? As i believe you are (much) younger than me, with your eyes you may better see a dozen non strapped examples, including a German one.
