Hi guys ,
could some of you identify this hanger ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Hello jean,
never have seen such a beast before. For me it looks somehow privately done or perhaps privately altered. Sorry that I cannot help you.
Regards,
I agree. Private manufacture.
Well made from the looks of it. The "V" cut in the front says to me it is for a bayonet. The quality suggests it is for a dress bayonet, not a K98 or similar.
thank you for your comments .
I was surprised to find this hanger on a short police bayonet .
jean, as short police bayonets are mostly (ever?) private purchased bayonets I am not surprised this hanger to be a privatly made/altered hanger.
Regards,
Lots of examples of homemade hangers used on daggers from the period. Baz showed one on a HJ last week here's one pictured in Wittys ref:
Hey Paul your picture frog looks to of dutch origin
