Congrats on the dagger!
I love to see this version of the hangers displayed with it too.

Goldfasan we all know there is no such dagger as a 1st R.R. 
Just ask any dealer(except when you buy one)I still say there was a 1st model designed like the Heer except with the black grip.When the 2nd came out to distinguish the branch the 1st became Heer with painted grips.Check a R.R.visor same as a Heer but with the R.R. Wheel in the design.JMO,by the way that is a real nice looking dagger with the hangers,to bad the portapee is missing but then they should have been made either

After seeing your R.R.dagger,I was thinking I had something that would complement it.Two hours later I found it.

Horst,great looking dagger and hanger.It's hard enough to find the dagger let alone the hangers.I keep looking for hangers for my dagger but no luck so far.
Tommy,the Imperial badge is a great addition to these daggers.I have a 25 year like yours and a 40 year cased.
