UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SS Dagger Forum Show Your Variant SS Hangers

I have always been almost as interested in SS dagger hangers as the daggers themselves.

As most SS collectors know, the daggers were issued with a short strap hanger. It was satisfactory if you were standing still, but if you were walking or marching you had to hold it. This led to a variety of improvised hangers and eventually to the standardized vertical hangers. I have some of each, but it is those improvised hangers which are most interesting. One of these days I will do a topic on SS hangers, but in the meantime I'd like to see any SS hangers you have so I can include them, with credit to you, in my topic.

Awesome Dave, can't wait!

A friends collection, it was once much more extensive.

Gary

Thanks, Gary,

It looks like "Diplomat" 's collection. Can some be photographed separately ?

Dave

Unfortunately I cannot provide any seperate pictures, its a private collector.

Gary

Super nice collection. I have the one second to the left. It came with my M36. You rarely see any of them for sale at all anymore.

The collector allowed me to take a few more pictures.

Thanks much Gary, and thank the collector for me as well.

Any one else ? I'd like to get more samples to make a good topic here.

Here is a rare vertical hanger that also has a dual use at a 45 degree carry angle

Also seen in Tom Wittmanns SS Reference page 632 and 633

Dave has personally seen this hanger in hand at a past Max Show

Regards Larry

Thanks Larry,

The very interesting thing about this hanger is that it is a handmade copy of a similar one commercially made for he SS and the SA and stamped DRGM

Hi all.

Here is my

Thanks a lot Piper and welcome to GDC.

It is unusual to see marked SS belt loops and even more unusual to see a belt loop and vertical hanger by the same manufacturer and same year.

Got any other SS goodies to show us ?
