Early M1910 cover with hook modification

I would like to know if I should remove the hook and return the hanger to its original shape.

Any opinions?

I am liking the modification of the hook. Does the hook look to be period or added years later? It looks like the shoulder strap hook from an M1910 haversack strap. If you decide to restore it to the original shape it may look all bent up and wonky when you finish so be careful if you do.

Modified for cavalry uses? I would leave it too ! I have first pattern WWII USMC named camo cover reinforced with looks like fence wire loops or hog rings to keep the belt wire from fraying threw canvas pad or working threw it done on each end of it We're the wire comes out It been there a very long time!

And chances are that rebending the wire hook would break it. You'd be kicking yourself for a long time if that happened.
