**Original**WW2 Era Nazi German Bullion Hangers For Nazi German Heer (Army) Officer’s 1935 Pattern Daggers. N 161 - N 161
Nazi German Heer (Army) officer dagger hangers were a mandatory, privately purchased uniform accessory introduced in May 1935. They were designed to suspend the ceremonial dress dagger from the officer's belt or pocket area when a sabre was not being worn. The hangers were typically made of two straps of fabric, often featuring a silver-coloured face made of woven aluminium / bullion flat wire, backed with velvet in colours such as field grey, dark green, or tan the same as our example. The straps feature metallic fittings, including oval buckles, adjustable slides, and spring clips to attach to the dagger's scabbard. The metal parts of the hangers are made from zinc, with an oak leaf pattern. A large, open clip loop at the top of the assembly was used to attach the entire hanger and dagger assembly to the officer's uniform belt or an internal uniform pocket hanger. The material of our example has some service wear but is clean and intact and the clips are nice and strong. The price includes UK delivery.
