Hangers
This set of
Diplomatic/Government Official hanging straps measures 10 ½
inches in length. The brocade has the herringbone design unique
to the Government Official straps. The brocade shows some mild
wear up at the top area, but for the most part, it still looks
good. The backing is the early style, deep rich blue velvet. These
were the first style hangers, which were specifically made for
the Germans visit to the Italians, in the summer of 1938.
The hardware on these straps, is the aluminum type. The upper
snap clip is plain finished, and the rectangular buckles and slides,
have the oak leaf motif. The snap clips at the bottom, are the
push-in style, which have a pebbled finish. Most of the finish

hangers are longer than normal being 11 inches overall. They have
the standard style closed box clip except it has no "A"
stamping, indicating a different producer. The straps are affixed
to the box clip via fine metal tabs. These metal tabs are both
DRGM marked and have oak leaves stamped into the surfaces of the
obverse side. The tabs are folded through the slots in the clip
and riveted to the straps. The straps themselves are actually
a brown rubberized material. They are not leather. accounting
for their fine condition. Sewn to the reverse of these straps
is a field gray felt material. On the long strap the felt material
remains at 99%. On the short strap a moth has had a meal or two
and about 60% of the felt remains. The buckles, slides and snaps
match the closed box clip material being possibly a pot metal
base having a pebbled finish. The finish however has a slight
gild look to it but this is not to infer these are General's hangers.
The lower snaps are the push up type and they also have pebbling
to their surfaces. They are marked on the back. ÷DRGM.÷
These hanging straps are made identically to the set, which is
shown in the Johnson Accoutrements Book on page 35 except they
are much longer. The fittings and tabs, however, look the same.
A very rare set of hangers, which would go great with a fancy
RAD Leader's piece. Excellent Plus, Plus (19730) $795.00
ACCOU - 009 - EARLY RAD E.M. HEWER HANGER
This early,
short-style, hanger is of all black leather construction. It is
the style with small strap equipped with oval buckle and hasp
to keep it closed. It shows quite a bit of usage at the fold over
point, but about half of the leather still remains. This will
work fine on your early Hewer, assuming you are not going to wear
it. The small black retainer loop is missing from this rig, but
does not effect the serviceability. It is identical to the one
shown in wear on page 36 of the Johnson Accouterment Book.

to find. This trottel consists of a textured bullion strapping
which is decorated with twin gold lines which run the length.
The slide is of gold and aluminum bullion which is in a weaved
design. The stem below is the flat type which is covered with
crochet-like brocade revealing the metal underneath. The cap of
this ovaled lower ball consists of alternating gold and bullion
threadlike decoration. The lower portion is of all aluminum thread.
The insert is a bullion fabric, having an aluminum center area
with twin gold lines on the end. This knot is extremely tight
and appears to be unissued, still in mint condition. It is not

are still nice and supple. The hangers are equipped with the standard
box fitting at the top. This fitting is stamped with the letter
a. The rectangular buckles have a pebbled surface
as do the slides below. The snaps on this set of hangers are a
little bit unusual. They are not the standard aluminum type, but
appear to be a heavier duty variety which are nickel plated and
have built in tension springs. Looking at the hanger area along
with the sewing, it is obvious that these lower snaps have always
been on this set of hangers. I have seen snaps like this on other
occasions. A 100% original set of RAD hangers in choice condition.

- EARLY RAD EM HEWER HANGER
This is the
early style RAD Hewer hanger that was worn initially when the
hewer was introduced in 1935. It is a brown leather construction
having a buckle and hasp which would control the opening and closing
of the hanger. The hanger was secured to the hewer, slipping over
the u fitting, and the clasp and buckle closed accordingly.
This hanger shows some usage, but the bottom securing area is
still complete and is not worn through. A fine item for an early
heavy nickel example. Excellent. $250.00
ACCOU - 024 - 25576
- RAD EM HEWER HANGER WITH ADDED LOWER SECTION
This early
RAD Hewer hanger is the short style which is folded over and kept
in place with a buckle and hasp. This interesting example has
had a bullet-shaped, lower hanger section sewn to its bottom for
protection of the wearers uniform. The original wearer either
added this to protect his clothing, or he did not want to bother
buying the later addition which came out approximately in 1937.
This hanger shows overall usage, but it is still in good, serviceable
condition.

This RAD Hewer
hanger is the early style which is folded over and held together
with a buckle and hasp. It appears as though it was a patent leather
surface at one time, but attic heat crazing has gotten to this
finish. Also, the buckle and hasp is smaller than the norm, leading
one to believe it was made by a small producer. This hanger also
has the addition of a bullet shape sewn to the bottom of it. It
appears as though it was originally produced with this bullet
shape or it is possible it was added later. An interesting hanger
which is still in serviceable condition.

ACCOU - 026 - 25629
- RAD EM EARLY HANGER VARIATION
This RAD Hewer
Hanger is a combination of the early variety and the later bullet
type. It is made from a fine dark brown leather which is still

loop which is permanently retained via a wire loop. The portion
below the belt loop has the hasp and buckle, together with the
fold over leather section, which is secured to the u
fitting on the RAD scabbard. The lower portion of this hanger
has the bullet shaping to protect the wearers clothing.
An outstanding, original variation in condition which would go
nicely with an early near mint to mint hewer. A fine accouterment

It has a good black leather surface on the obverse, and brown
leather on the reverse. The top section is a separate belt loop
assembly, which is retained by a permanent wire loop hardware.
The lower snap is the nickel plated style. It is marked on the
reverse, FSS, in three circles, the RAD triangle and
the date, 38". The reverse of this hanger is nicely
marked at the bottom in large stamping 2.39 B.A.Fü..
The maker stamping is further up near the top area of the lower
section, and it is marked, Rud. Vordemberge/Osnabrück/1938".
These maker marked examples are very desirable and this piece
is in top condition throughout. It would go very well with a near
mint to full mint RAD hewer. Near Mint. $425.00

- EARLY PRE-RZM SS HANGER
This SS hanger
is about 8 inches in length. It reflects a set up whereby there
is a retaining strap with snap which goes around the grip of the
SS dagger and the lower half of the hanger is secured beneath
the upper scabbard mount. This portion of the hanger is arch-shaped
to perfectly fit the border of this upper scabbard fitting. The
upper portion of the hanger has a built-in belt loop. This hanger
measures a total of approximately 8 inches in length. Rivets retain
the grip strap as well as the scabbard leather. The back of the
hanger is black leather, having decorative lines which run on
both edges. The obverse area which would be concealed by an in-place
dagger is a rough brown leather. This extremely rare vertical
hanger shows some usage, but by and large, it is still in fine
condition. Excellent Plus Plus. $495.00

- EARLY PRE-RZM SS HANGER
This black,
vertical style hanger measures approximately 7.5 inches in length.
It has a built-in belt loop at the top, and at the grip area,
it has a rivet-held leather retaining loop which is complete with
a working snap button. The below area of the hanger has a fitting
which retains the SS scabbard by being positioned beneath the
upper scabbard mount border. The leather of this example is in
excellent condition, showing only nominal usage. The leather is
trimmed on the edged with decorative lines. Concoctions of this
sort were produced for the suspension of SS daggers prior to the
standardization brought on by the RZM. An absolute period original
hanger. Great for a nice-conditioned, rare maker, early dagger.

ACCOU - 032 - 25570
- EARLY PRE-RZM SS HANGER
This SS hanger
resembles the standard types which came into play about 1935.
It differs a lot, also, in that it has a larger look to it and
is more substantially made. It resembles the vertical hanger that
I show in my SS book on Page 588, far right. This hanger has a
very large scabbard loop which is about 2 ½ to 3 times
the width of the size seen on the standard variety. The upper
portion of the hanger is coffin shaped. It is equipped with a
leather loop having a black painted buckle, equipped with a roller
and hasp. The leather strapping is beginning to age, but it is
still in good condition and is serviceable. The large lower loop
of this hanger is retained by two rivets in the reverse. At the
upper portion is a large sword-like nickel plated snap clip. This
clip is retained by folded over leather, which is also double-riveted.
A great hanger to use with an early dagger. Most unusual, and
absolutely original! Excellent Plus. $495.00

C RAD Unusual Style Bullet Hanger
This unusual
style RAD leather hanger is all in a pleasing brown color. The
hanger consists of a wire-style, closed mechanism at the top,
which would hook to a belt loop. The leather hanger itself has
the usual bullet shape at the bottom, with a slimmer strap mechanism
in the center area. There is a loop on the obverse of the strap,
which is closed via a steel belt-type hook, and remains in place
with a retainer loop. This leather replaces what usually the nickel
snap clip would do on a standard hanger. This is quite a clever
design here, and apparently works well. This is the first example
of this nature, I have seen.Near Mint $250.00

- RAD OFFICER HANGERS
These RAD officer
hangers are the brown leather type and they measure about 9 inches
at the longest part. The brown leather is fairly dark and is in
excellent, supple condition. There are no signs of rot or any
problems with these straps. The upper closed box clip is a nickel
plated type, which is unmarked. The rectangle buckles and slides
are the aluminum variety, having a pebbled finish. The pebbling
shows mild wear across the surfaces. The lower snaps are the push-in
variety, having pebbled surfaces. It is interesting to note that
one snap faces inward and the other one faces outward. This was
probably a factory error, or it is possible the original wearer
wanted them to be this way for a firmer grip on his dagger. A
good, original set of RAD officer hangers. Excellent Plus. $650.00
ACCOU - 040 - 25976C
- RED CROSS OFFICER HANGERS
This set of
Red Cross Officer hangers measures a fairly long 12 inches overall
at the longest strap. These straps have brocade fronts which are
a gray color and have dual aluminum brocade lines running the
length. These brocade lines are highlighted with red stitching.
These fronts show some minor age, but basically they are still
all there and look nice. The backs are a high-pile mouse gray
velvet, showing just the slightest amount of wear here and there.
The top snap clip is an unmarked aluminum variety. The ovaled
buckles and slides are the aluminum plain surface variety. The
snap clips below are also plain surface types. As is normally
the case, most of the plating has come off on the lower parts
of these snaps. A good set of hangers here which would go nicely
with an excellent plus to near mint Red Cross Officer dagger.
Excellent Plus Plus. $650.00
ACCOU - 041 - 25978C
- SOCIAL WELFARE HANGERS
These Social
Welfare hangers are approximately 11 inches long at the longest
strap. The straps are a brocade gray color, having dual sets of
darker gray lines which run the length of both straps. There is
a textured aluminum in between that sets the stripes off nicely.
The top snap clip is an aluminum example with pebbled surfaces.
The rectangular buckles and slides are also pebbled to match.
The lower snaps are a smooth surface variety, showing some wear
at the bottom portions where the dagger was carried but, for the
most part, the plating is still there on these snaps. The reverse
of the straps is a gray high-pile velvet. They show little to
no wear. A good set of straps here, which would fit nicely on
a Red Cross or Social Welfare dagger in excellent plus to near
mint condition. Excellent Plus Plus. $695.00

which is done in thong style black leather. The flat stem is covered
with crochet-like with bullion. The lower knot is an oval shape
and is made up of alternating pink threadlike bullion and aluminum
bullion. The stuffing is a threadlike pink bullion. A fine looking
knot here, which has been on a bayonet before and has some attractive
age toning, but no fraying or problems. This troddel is ready
to go onto your Firemans bayonet. Excellent Plus. $95.00
ACCOU - 047 - 26365C
- SS NCO SWORD TRODDEL
This sword
troddel is the type of troddel that was made up as the war started
and, for some reason, they were never distributed. A case of these
was discovered back in the 1970s and we still see quite a few
of them still having the original tie string. This example is
also in its original tie. It features a bullion strap with textured
surfaces, having twin black lines running the length. There is
a bullion and black woven slide and the stem is flat, having a
bullion crochet-like surface. The knot below has a black cap and
it features aluminum and black alternating thread. The bottom
insert is black velvet. There are no SS runes on these troddels,
but from what we can garner, these examples were made to fit on
SS NCOs carrying swords which may or may not have been of the
SS motif. Mint. $150.00

- IMPERIAL OFFICERS SHAVING BRUSH BULLION TRODDEL
This troddel
is a real beauty, having blue cotton-like strapping with triple
rows of bullion lines running down the length. The slide is a
beautiful silver bullion style having blue thread highlights.
The stem features a blue silk-like cover having silver bullion
wavelike threads running through it surfaces. The lower cap is
of silver bullion as is the long brush-like hanging bouillon strands
which are over a blue cotton strand base. This is a very elaborate
portepee which would be an outstanding addition to the right edged
weapon. I do know now what the blue and silver colors would represent
in the Imperial Army, but for those who may, this is a great knot.

This under
the tunic webbed belt is of a red color fabric. The belt is complete
with a brown leather front area with brass buckle and hasp. The
leather has a checkering to its finish. Matching this checkered
leather is a same color teardrop/frog which is equipped with a
black painted snap clip. This frog teardrop measures about four
inches in length. It would have been worn beneath the tunic and
the sword carrying ring would have snapped to the clip via a slot
in the pocket or also this rigging could have been worn to suspend
an Army officers dagger or other dagger equipped with a
closed three-stage clip at the top of the hanger straps. A fine
example here of a hard to get accouterment.

This sword
sling is a little bit different from most that you see, as it
is slightly shorter than most and has a regain chain attached.
This sword sling measures overall about 11 inches. The top area
is a wide black leather belt loop. Attached below at the belt
loop is a closed bracket with two openings. In the second opening,
there is a black leather sword sling strap which is looped through
and retained by an aluminum boss. The strap itself measures nine
inches overall. There is an aluminum buckle and hasp which is
adjustable and behind this is a short piece of leather with a
black painted sword clip. The leather which runs through the buckle
and hasp is marked on the back with a producers name from
Berlin. The first opening on the belt loop bracket contains an
aluminum chain and regain hook. This assembly is approximately
six and one-half inches in length. This fine accouterment would
permit the wearer to suspend the sword at full length for normal
usage. The regain hook could be placed through the carrying ring
and the sword would become much more stable during marching or
other more physical times. This accouterment is an outstanding
example and the first that I have seen. It is in good condition
throughout and ready to go onto your sword. Excellent Plus. $350.00

This set of
Naval hangers is in the satin aluminum finish, as they were designed
to be worn by Administrative officials working the desk. (The
line officials working the ships, of course, were the gilded straps).
The hardware throughout this example shows normal wear, but the
details are still excellent to the dual lion mask buckles. The
shorter strap is equipped with a chain and regain hook. The obverse
straps are a black satin with lined decoration. The reverse are
a high-pile black velvet. These Administrative hangers are not
easy to come by. They look great with another set of gilded Kriegsmarine
hangers displayed next to each other or with corresponding daggers
equipped with the two types.

buckle assembly and attached to the reverse of the buckle is a
nickel-plated snap clip having 100% plating. This snap clip is
marked with an anchor having an ÷S÷ superimposed
over it on the reverse. The leather is still quite supple and
this rare accouterment is ready to go on your officer's Degen.

the edges of each strap. These straps show mild usage, but they
are still supple, and in good condition. The straps are fitted
with the aluminum TeNo hardware. The hardware consists of a closed
box clip at the top, with the plain slides, and aluminum, round
cogwheel, embellished buckles. These buckles have the letter,
A, on the reverse, which would be the hardware producers
logo. The slides are plain, and the lower snaps are the pushed-in

They have the field green color velvet backs. This set is quite
long measuring 12-inches overall. The fronts feature the traditional
herringbone design. This brocade shows some age and minor wear
but it still looks good. As indicated above, the green velvet
backs are in excellent condition showing nominal wear commensurate
with the fronts. The top clip is an aluminum unmarked snap type
and the lower hardware features two, push-in type, snap clips
which are the style having smooth finish. The aluminum covering
on the snaps has pretty well worn off to time. The buckles and
slides are the brighter aluminum style featuring raised oak leaves.

are the push-in type having pebbled finish. The brocade fabric
is the standard rich-looking blue-gray color having bullion squared
pattern lines which run the length. This brocade is totally pristine.
The reverse of the straps are covered with most-unusual field
green high-pile velvet, not the normal purple-gray color used
for Luftwaffe. Studying the construction, these hangers are absolutely
original as made. The upper clip shows just the slightest wear
