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.

**SUPERB**LARGE**C1879 - 1884 Scottish Leckie, Graham & Co Glasgow 1st Aberdeen Rifle Volunteers Badged (Later Gordon Highlanders) Silver Mounted Dirk With Cairngorm Jewel Setting, Knife, Fork With Matching Cairngorms & Scabbard. Sn 23140 - 23140
The 1st Aberdeen Rifle Volunteers was an early volunteer infantry unit in Aberdeen, Scotland, formed from the 1st Aberdeenshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, eventually becoming the 1st Volunteer Battalion (VB) of the famous Gordon Highlanders in 1884, serving as a part-time home defence force and providing recruits for the regular army until the early 20th century when volunteer forces reorganized into the Territorial Force. These units, with distinctive badges like brass shako/pouch insignia, were crucial for local defence and embodied Scottish military tradition. The 1st Aberdeen Rifles badge featured St Andrew In front of the Saltire cross on which he was martyred. Leckie, Graham & Co. was a well-established Glasgow-based business, operating from the late 19th into the 20th century. While they were known for a variety of goods, their primary business was as a retailer and possibly manufacturer of leather goods, saddlery, and Highland dress items, including some types of bladed weapons, rather than general domestic cutlery. The firm originated from John Leckie & Co., which was established in 1869 in Glasgow. By 1879, the company was known as Leckie, Graham, & Co. and occupied premises at 116 and 120 Union Street. Later, around 1904, they moved to 89 Renfield Street and 56 Bath Street. The firm retailed weapons, and items like Scottish dirks bear their name as the "maker". However, it is common for such firms to act as retailers who commissioned the actual manufacture of the bladed items from specialist cutlers (often in places like Sheffield, the centre of English cutlery production) and then applied their own name to the finished product. This is a superb, large, Scottish Military Silver Mounted 1st Aberdeen Rifles Regiment Dirk With 'Cairngorm' Jewel Setting, Knife, Fork & Scabbard By Leckie, Graham & Co Glasgow made C1879 – 1884 when the retailer became Leckie, Graham & Co and before 1884 when the Aberdeen Rifles amalgamated with the Gordon Highlanders. The impressive dirk has an 11 ¾” single edged spear point blade with decorative clipped back edge & partial fullers. The dirk measures 17" overall. One side of the blade is nicely signed ‘Leckie, Graham & Co Makers Glasgow’. It has a bulbous hand carved woven effect Oak handle decorated with inset brass studs, large ornate German silver ferrule and Pommel cap with spectacular inset 'Cairngorm' jewel. Accompanying the dirk are its original knife and fork with matching carved Oak handles with studs, plain ferrules and ornate pommel mounts with inset jewels. The small knife has a slim 3 ¾” single edged blade (7" overall) and the 2 pronged fork measures 6" overall. The small knife’s blade has a clipped back edge and one side has matching retailer detail. Both the knife and fork fit neatly into their German Silver mounted compartments on the original leather covered wood scabbard. The scabbard is excellent and undamaged. The mounts bear Silver Scottish Thistle badges and the throat mount has the period Silver badge of the 1st Aberdeen rifles. The rear of the throat mount has a fixed belt / frog bar. The price for this superb piece includes UK delivery. Sn 23140 (in FS box)
