I'm sure someone has more complete info, but I can start you out. I can think of displaying sheaths that are worn on the back, the shoulder, the waist (as a belt) or on the belt. They are limited by weight, with the backworn ones carrying the heaviest weapons. Also, some hold one weapon, but others hold two.

There are actual worn-as-belt displayers, some displayers worn on the belt, some shoulder worn, and some back worn.

Additionally, there are the polearm/runestaff backworns which only display those said weapons (and quarterstaves too, I think).

I'll post what I can think of for the moment. I'm sure the maker can correct me if I'm mistaken or if I've forgotten something.

Weapon displayers debuted at the shop called Hanging Around at the 2003 Artisan Faire. At the time, they only held and displayed one weapon, could hold any weapon and only took the form of belts and items worn on the belt.

They appeared later in the shop called Hangers On at Ebon Gates 2004 and 2005. Here, displayers became shoulder and backworn as well, and could hold two weapons. A merchant (whose name escapes me) could also unlock displayers to add some scripts for TWC users. Displayers may have been sold elsewhere, but those are the shops I remember.

The polearm/runestaff harnesses (which I don't call weapon displayers, for sake of clarity) were sold separately, and I'm not able to pin down for sure where they came from. I do recall the maker's merchant selling them by hand at the Spitfire, but they had already been in game at the time. These harnesses date from 2004 and possibly earlier.

At first, each weapon displayer could hold any item. This was changed a while ago. Belts and beltworns hold small weapons, shoulderworns hold medium and backworns hold pretty much anything. Belts and beltworns will not hold runestaves and polearms, no matter their weight.

Also, weapon displayers needed to be rubbed to activate the script where you'd unsnap the strap holding the weapon in place before you could remove the weapon. This was updated so it's no longer needed. In addition, two-weapon displayers could be unlocked to allow for two weapons to be unsheathed at once 'in a sudden crossbody move.'

Weapon displayers are not technically containers. They cannot be used for the stow or sheath verbs in game.

Displayers can be altered, but they will only take a short description, or a short with a show. Longs cannot be done.

The shop inventory for the first shop from the Artisan Faire is as follows:

Fairly correct Gretchen...

Unlocking came later on (wasn't invented really till some other guy pondered out white ora for the Wavedancer and how to get the concept approved), but the merchant could deepen the two weapon displayers.

I forget when some other guy did the poleams, I think it was a one-off event in the Landing, but that was the first interation, and at least a year before the one weapon ones.

The rationale why you couldn't stick a polearm or a runestaff is fairly obvious, it would look stoopid. :)

The two weapons one was one of the crazier things he did, as people put some many crazy things in them, decaying limbs (which totally broke the description), weapons with their own get verbs, and other stuff, eventually, all scripted items were disallowed. Was on a to-do list somewhere to fix at some point, but alas.

Correct on the alteration rules, and should be able to be deepened if you found a merchant who'd look into it.
