Thanks for the replies.

After I posted in this forum, I thought it might be more appropriate in "The Smithy," so I posted there also. One of the gentlemen who replied mentioned that the Bodyguard hammer also has a hook that looks like it would snag. I'm curious now to see what a Bodyguard hammer looks like in profile.

Another option mentioned was the Waller bolt-on hammer shroud, but I'm not crazy about the idea of drilling and tapping the frame.

Maybe a slight shortening of the spur is the best option, along with the technigue suggested by Grayfox.

Thanks again.
