Chiptree, the faking of navy hangers have a long and tortous way behind. The first ones I could observe did lack only the proper fitting with the small chain (they got the square spare part). Afterwards the original buckles came to an end and were replaced by cast fakes. Somewhere on the way also the brocade and the velvet was new. So a mass of postwar possible combinations are existing. It is not very easy to find a perfect machting pair (always look at the minute details of the lionshead buckles) of period hangers. Due to the low prices of the put together hangers the original hangers also have remarkable low prices and are very underrated imho. Even more a period, matching pair of administration navy hangers.
