I think we are all agreeing here.
I don not know when or to who the chained hangers were used, but it is clear to me that there were other hangers. The shear lack of numbers of chain hangers tells me that. This is why I refer to them as ultra rare. If there were more of these indicating universal use, we would not have this discussion. We do not see many of these so I assume the chain hangers only came with the Solingen daggers. So, I do not know if these just came with the dagger and the wearer used a more standard cloth hanger, or if these were presentation daggers warranting the different hanger. In short, I do not know.
But, I do not doubt there are cloth hangers.
I also note several different hangers available for different daggers in Bulgaria. When we are doing the army daggers, we can expand on this.
Gary, I also store my hangers different. Mine is due to space also.
Interesting.
