The cross hangers you have made are fine where I refer to cross hangers not going all the way around the scabbard is only with reference to the Fulham sword in particular.
In fact as Crispvs has mentioned there are even hangers that have holes that go completely through the whole scabbard, there are hangers that do go all the way around with others that only go as far as the guttering at the rear.
What is a good idea for the ones going all the way around a scabbard is to thin out the two edges and solder them together, then they can be slid on from the bottom of the scabbard prior to fitting the chape.
