Hello Guys,
the first Dagger i want to show you from my Collection is a nice HJ Führer Dagger with Hangers from Hörster.
The Dagger is overall in a very good Condition.

Best regards,
Stefan

Randak, first let me welcome you to the forum.
You have a nice Youth leader dagger with proper hangers. Obviously - what I can see in the photographs - all period. The condition of dagger and hangers is remarkable well.
The only thing I am not totally sure about is the leather washer.
The hanger is the scarcer type with the Lüneschloss stamping. What your rig is missing is the proper belt loop wink
Regards,

That's a nice one. These HJ leaders have become a scarce dagger as few dealers offer one.
Congrats ! smile

Looks like a nice HJ rig. Those hangers are tough to find, especially in nice condition. I would agree with Wotan on the leather washer, seeing how the blade slightly splits the leather despite the cut-out made in the shape of the blade. Overall though, a beautiful looking set.

Thank you for your Comments.

Yes Wotan, the Belt Loop is still missing. Maybe i get one some Day.

Do you think the Leather Washer is not from the period?

I think nobody in the world can tell you when the leather washer has been replaced. Might have been done during the period, perhaps later.
But it seems not to be the leather washer with what the dagger has been produced by HÖRSTER.
On the other side, I would not put too much weight concerning the leather washer. It has only been a remark from my side, obligated to truth. You do own a VERY nice and scarce group! One of the nicest sets I have seen. I do know several collectors who do look for such a good conditioned set for years but cannot find any.
And -honestly- these daggers were also worn with belt loops you do show. The "special" belt loops are rarely encountered.
Regards,
