Quote Houston Coates:
"Just for the record this is not an official hanger for any German edged weapon. Probably for the Model 1902 US saber."

I copied this from the for sale forum so it could be commented upon. The 1902 pattern US saber has two rings as the seller of this hanger indicated so it's NOT an accessory for that sword or ANY other American sword I'm aware of..
Anyone else have another opinion as to the original use of this hanger? Most of us who have been at this for awhile know that there was apparentely latitude given in regards to hangers and,as far as I know, none of the political vertical dagger hangers were "official" either.
For the record: I bought this hanger as I like it whether it's SS or not. However; When it arrives I'll try it out with an SS Degen and see if it's practical in use.
