interesting posts by knowledgeable collectors. The teardrop hanger is sometimes advertised as a Waffen-SS, Police and/or army hanger. Many knowledgeable collectors attribute them to the police only. They do tend to be pricey, based on the ones I have seen advertised on dealers' sites, but dealer prices usually are higher than those of private individuals. Most dealers are willing to negotiate on prices, but, usually, not a great deal. These hangers usually list for several hundred dollars. I think Johnson currently has one. The long SS brocade strap is also somewhat scarce and usually brings in the upper range of several hundred dollars. I have seen them advertised for a thousand dollars and a bit more in "new-like" condition. As with any collectible, condition is very important and that should determine the desirability and the price, to a degree.
