 ACCOU #34793 Land Customs Hangers

This set of Land Customs hangers measures overall 10½ inches. The brocade straps show some soiling and usage with the left strap having a small wear sign about 2 inches above the buckle. These straps though are still in fairly good condition and would go nice with a Land Customs piece showing moderate usage. The reverse of the straps have the Kelly Green velvet pile. Oddly, these reverse straps show almost no usage at all. The straps are retained by a set of metal tabs at the top which are rivet held. These metal tabs have turned a darker gray color but if you look closely you can see the oak leaf sprigs which are stamped into the obverse surfaces of each tab. The tabs retain the closed clip at the top. This clip is produced in aluminum. The oval buckles and slides below are also aluminum and they feature the pointed oak leaves which are standard for Customs’ daggers. The snap clips at the bottom have pebbled surfaces and about 50-60% of the aluminum coating still remains. These clips have a pebbled surface motif. A good set of hangers here ready to go on to your Land Customs dagger.

 ACCOU #34229 Early Army Hangers

This set of Early Army Hangers has the brass based mounts throughout. These early straps, because of the metal content, are heavier than the later types. The straps measure about eleven and three quarter inches in length. The front brocade shows some minor wear and usage, but the surfaces are still bright. The reverse field green velvet shows only a little minor wear to the edges, but no fraying at all. The upper box clip is a plain type, with good silvered finish. The oval buckles are located slightly higher on the straps than we normally see. This is just the way this particular company made these straps, and it is not an alteration. Both the buckles and the slides are decorated with raised oak leaves. The lower brass snaps also have good silvering, having a pebbled finish with rounded tops. It is interesting to note that this manufacturer installed the "push in" opening on the reverse of the snaps. A very fine, early set of hangers.

Excellent Plus. $225.00

This SA Short Hanger is of mid-period construction. It has outstanding brown leather which is still in perfect near mint condition being complete with the little retainer loop.

Mint Minus. $75.00

ACCOU #34456 Army Officer Hangers with Metal Tabs

This set of Army Officer Hangers is deluxe all the way. The brocade is still quite beautiful having bright silvery highlights to the textured fabric and the reverse green high pile velvet shows only the most modest of wear. The straps are retained to the upper clip via metal tabs which are connected with rivets to the respective straps. Each tab is stamped with oak leaf sprigs and is marked, “DRGM” at the top. The reverse of the tabs are plain. The oval buckles and slides below still have nearly all of their silver surfaces and they reflect a fine raised overlapping oak leaf motif. The snaps below are the deluxe type having the “push-up” style snap. They are decorated with raised oak leaf sprigs on their surfaces and on the reverse, each snap has a letter, “A” within a circle. An outstanding set of hangers here that would nicely decorate a like conditioned quality army officer dagger. These straps measure about 10¾ inches in length.

Near Mint. $250.00

ACCOU #34702 SA Belt Loop and Grip retainer Loop

This matched set of belt and grip retainer loop has good brown color leather still having suppleness and good preservation. The belt loop is interesting in that the “D” ring is gilded instead of being a nickel plate. The retainer loop is in exceptional condition having a good working brown color snap.

Excellent Plus. $125.00

 ACCOU #34557 SS NCO Bayonet/Sword Troddel

This bayonet/sword troddel has the silver bullion strapping with dual twin lines which run the length. It has a slide of woven bullion and a flat stem covered with crochet-like bullion. The oval ball has a black cap with alternating silver and black thread. The lower insert is a black velvet. These knots were used by NCO SS people on NCO style swords or also for a bayonet. Contrary to popular belief, these knots are absolutely original wartime issue items. See my SS book on page 611 for more information on these knots.

Near Mint. $250.00 (#020113)

 ACCOU #34694 Army Bayonet EM Troddel

This troddel is a beauty being in unissued condition. It features a silk-like strapping with good decorative texture.

ACCOU #34444 Mid-period SA Belt Loop

This Mid-period SA Belt Loop has very fine brown leather with decorative grooves which run the length of both edges. The back side of the leather is stamped "L2/441/38". There may also be an RZM stamping, but the securing thread is in the middle of where the stamp was made. The loop is equipped with a steel based "D" ring having a pebbled surface. This belt loop would go great with a double proof SA dagger.

Near Mint. $65.00

ACCOU #34235C Dark Brown Leather Sword Loop

This leather Sword Loop has a leather belt loop that is the same as the type we see on SA daggers. Instead of a "D" ring though, there is a "dog leash" style sword clip attached to it. Assumedly, the wearer used this loop to attach to a teardrop or possibly direct to a sword carrying ring. Either way, it is in good condition, and I am sure would be desirable by someone.

Excellent Plus. $65.00

ACCOU #34233C Early SS/Police Black Leather Sword Loop

This black leather Sword Loop is similar to a dagger carrying belt loop with the exception that it has a large "dog leash" style snap clip at the bottom. The snap clip is nickel plated, and is retained by a large rivet, having a matching nickel plated surface. This belt loop could have been used to secure a teardrop or could have been snapped directly to the carrying ring of a sword scabbard. A nice item here.

These tabs are in turn retained by rivets through the brocade. The metal tabs have oak leaf sprigs and “DRGM” stamped into their surfaces. The reverse brocade shows no wear having a fine gray color. The upper snap clip is the deluxe type featuring raised out oak leaf sprigs. The reverse is plain and is marked, “U.E.10”, “RZM”, “DRGM”. The rectangular buckles and slides below are decorated with raised oak leaves. The snaps are the deluxe “push-up” type decorated with raised oak leaf sprigs. The reverse is stamped, “DRGM”. There is some gilt that appears on this hardware but we feel that this is an age toning to old lacquer. This set of straps measures about 11 inches in length and would look great with a high quality Luftwaffe officer’s dagger.

Mint. $250.00 (#122012)

ACCOU #34458 Naval Administrative Hangers

This set of Naval Administrative Hangers is an early set having brass based snaps with steel regain hook and chain and perhaps pot metal base lion mask buckles. There are traces of the original silvering throughout the snaps and the slides. The lion masks tend to be noticeable against the rest of the hardware as they have retained their dull silvery color. The black moiré outside straps are in good condition as are the black velvet material on the backs. Administrative hangers are quite difficult to find. Aside from the loss of silver plating on the snaps and slides this set of straps is in fairly nice condition.

Excellent. $350.00

ACCOU #34460 Naval Brass-Mount Hangers

This set of Naval Hangers show some overall age but not really a lot of wear. The hardware is of all brass to include the snaps, chain and regain hook, and the lion mask buckles. The brass surfaces have dulled with patination over the years but there is still quite a bit of gilt remaining throughout all of the surfaces. The gilt is probably about 50-60%. The black moiré straps have fine fronts and the high pile black velvet reverse shows little wear. A good set of straps to go with a naval dagger having about the same amount of gilt finish to its surfaces. Naval hangers are becoming extremely difficult to locate.

Excellent Plus. $495.00

ACCOU #34462 Under Tunic Woven Naval Belt

This Naval Belt is the blue woven material having a leather belt area with gilded buckle and hasp. There is also the two leather loops, one which is stationary and one which moves.

Mint. $95.00

ACCOU #34464 Russian Naval Dress Belt with Matching Hangers

The Russian Naval Belt and hanging straps is very similar to that used by the Germans. In fact, when the czar came to visit Wilhelm in 1901, Wilhelm admired these hangers as well as the dirks worn by the Russians and basically the Germans copied the design. This naval dress belt has the traditional black moiré surface with a black velvet backing. It is fitted with slides which have anchor designs surrounded by a wreath with a star at the top. There are two slides each having eyelets for the connection of the hanging straps. The buckle is a matching brass beauty also featuring a wreathed fouled anchor with star above. The hanging straps are the identical material having buckles with each end portraying a fouled anchor with wreath and star at the top. The hanger shows some wear to the material but no fraying and the brass parts throughout have some of the original gilt left but not a lot. The snaps are a narrow style steel type which are not as substantial as the German type but I’m sure they worked well. If you have a fine Russian dirk from the 20s or 1930s this rigging would be an outstanding addition.

Excellent. $250.00

ACCOU #34463 Russian Naval Dress Belt with Matching Hangers

This Russian Naval Dress Belt and matching hangers is in pristine condition and probably comes from one of the Russian pieces from after the war. The black moiré and black velvet backing is perfect. The straps are fitted with buckles having fouled anchors with surrounded wreath and star at the top. The same motif is repeated on the buckle. There are no sliding roundels on this belt so I’m not sure how the hangers would attach to it. This rigging would make a good display along with a Russian naval dagger in like condition.

Mint. $100.00

ACCOU #34470 Army Brown Wool Sword Bag

This sword bag is a real beauty, being moth free and measuring about 42-inches in length. It is a rich brown color and is in almost new condition. The top of the bag has the drawstring pull and the edges have the pinching shear cut that we often see on these bags. If you are looking for a bag to display a choice sword on this example would make it look magnificent. It is amazing that a period bag has held up this well.

Near Mint. $250.00

ACCOU #34453 Imperial Court Degen Gray Wool Bag

This gray wool bag was originally with an imperial court degen. I bought the bag from a collector that did not want to keep it with his sword. The bag is 46 inches in length and is fairly narrow so that it can not really be used for anything other than a court sword as the hilt configuration is fairly small on this type of degen. The bag is of all gray color wool showing minor age and usage throughout the surfaces but has no holes and the stitching is all in good condition.

Excellent. $65.00

ACCOU #34510C SA Brown Vertical Hanger

This vertical hanger is a bit strange but absolutely period. It has fairly thin brown leather with no markings anywhere. The hanger measures about 8½inches having a fold-over style belt loop at the top, and at the bottom there is an accepting sleeve which is arched at the top to fit under the shape of the upper SA scabbard mount. Additionally there is a leather strap and buckle which would have gone around the grip of an SA dagger. There is also a small loop at the right side of the upper belt loop. I’m an not sure what the purpose of this little loop would have been but it is made of matching leather and substantially sewn into place. The belt loop section of the hanger is retained by two rivets. An interesting hanger here that was probably produced prior to the RZM restrictions.

Near Mint. $295.00

ACCOU #34521 K-98 Luftwaffe Marked Frog with Portepee

This Luftwaffe Frog is a standard K-98 type having the rough leather surface. The frog is in good condition throughout and is retained by four rivets. The frog is maker marked on the reverse with the producer, “Gustav Klopfer / Berlin / 1938”. Additionally the reverse of the frog is deeply stamped with a Luftwaffe unit marking, “3. KP. / FLT.S.Jü.”. This marking on the reverse would tend to indicate that the frog was worn by someone connected with a Luft flight school group. Tied about the upper portion of the K-98 frog is a fine 23 cm Luftwaffe portepee. This portepee is set in place and although there is no fraying it shows age and appears to be original to this frog. It is possible that the teacher or squadron leader of this group may have been a high NCO and was entitled to wear the portepee. Either way a very interesting accoutrement here.

Excellent. $325.00

ACCOU #34465 Army Officer Sword Teardrop Hanger

This teardrop hanger is quite long being 9-inches in length. It is a brown color leather and does have some scuffing throughout. This is very easy to fix with a little brown shoe polish. I am sure that the teardrop hanger would come up nice with this slight amount of work. The hanger has a fold-over top which contains the nickel box clip. There are adjustable belt loops in the leather and it is complete with a small leather boss in the lower buttonhole. The retainer loop is also in place. At the bottom of the teardrop there is a nickel-plated snap clip which is affixed to the hanger. The reverse of the hanger is of lighter color leather which also could use some polishing.

Excellent. $95.00

ACCOU #34467 Army Officer Sword Teardrop Hanger

This teardrop hanger is in nice condition throughout showing only mild usage. The leather reflects a fine rich brown color. The reverse of the teardrop is covered in green felt material showing only the most mildest of wear. The hanger measures about 7 ½-inches in length. The upper portion has a fold-over which is retained through a buttonhole and a boss. This fold-over keeps the closed box clip in place. The lower clip is sewn in place with a leather tab. This clip is the type we call a “dog leash” look. It has an aluminum type surface. A fine teardrop hanger here.

Excellent Plus. $125.00

ACCOU #34466 Army Office Sword Teardrop Hanger

This brown leather teardrop hanger still has good surfaces showing some mild usage. The reverse of the hanger is covered in a green felt which shows quite a bit of wear but there’s about 80% of the felt remaining. This hanger measures 8-inches in length. The upper portion folds over with a buttonhole and boss. It retains a closed nickel box clip at the top. The lower portion of the teardrop has a leather tab which retains a nickel-plated snap clip which is affixed to the hanger. A good sword hanger here.

Excellent Plus. $125.00

ACCOU #34473 SS NCO Bayonet Troddel

This bayonet troddel is one of the original examples that were found intact after the war. These knots were worn on SS NCO bayonets. They also are worn in cases where NCOs in the waffen SS wore a sword. This knot has the textured bullion strapping having twin sets of dual striped lines running the length. The slide is a black and white woven type and the stem is the flat style having crochet-like aluminum covering. The cap is of aluminum bullion construction. The lower insert is a black felt type. A great way to dress up an SS bayonet here.

Near Mint $250.00

ACCOU #34195C Diplomatic/Government Official's Hanging Straps

This set of Diplomatic/Government Official's Hanging Straps is in choice condition. These straps measure about 10 3/4" in length. The straps consist of the herringbone textured brocade, which is still in bright, clean, pristine condition. There is a sign that the bottom of the straps were opened apparently for the replacement of a snap clip. This opening though, on both straps, appears to be period to me. The stitching does not show, as the snaps cover the area. The reverse of these straps has high-pile black velvet, indicating they are of second issue variety, as the first issue straps had blue velvet backs. The velvet is in perfect condition, showing no wear. The silvered hardware is also in choice condition. The upper snap clip is plain throughout. The rectangular buckles and slides have the raised out oak leaf decoration. The snap clips are the "push in" pebbled type, having squared tops. This is a great opportunity to complete a choice Diplomatic/Government Dagger. Hangers in this condition simply do not come around very often.

Mint Minus. $2,995.00

ACCOU #34279C SS/NSKK Grip Retainer Loop with Printed RZM Tag

Mint. $100.00

ACCOU #34276C NSFK Glider Pilot Belt Loop for Crackle-finish Dagger

This NSFK Glider Pilot Belt Loop is a black color., The leather is not adorned with the decorative edge lines. It does have an aluminum, pebbled "D" ring. This belt loop is for use with the F. & A. Helbig NSFKK Glider Pilot knives having the characteristic crackle finish. This would be a great addition to complete a Mint conditioned aluminum Glider Pilot Knife.

Mint. $125.00

ACCOU #34285C Luftwaffe Eagle-stamped Teardrop Hanger

This small Luftwaffe Teardrop Hanger is three and three quarter inches in length. It is equipped with a small belt loop at the top, which would have been used with the narrow "under-the-tunic" belt. The loop section is also stamped with an "X" and four dots. Below this, is attached a pebbled "D" ring. At the bottom of the teardrop section, there is a stamped Luftwaffe eagle with swastika flying to the viewer's right. The lower portion of the teardrop has the decorative accent line around the border. The reverse of the teardrop is unfinished leather. A very fine example here, one which would really highlight a choice 2nd Model Luftwaffe dagger.

Mint. $225.00

ACCOU #34292C Early Black SS Sword Portepee

This Early Black SS Sword Portepee is in un-issued condition, still having the two string wraps attached. The leather still appears supple, being a fine black color, and having triple aluminum stitching, which runs the length of the strapping. There is a slide, which is of woven leather with wire bullion highlights. The stem is the flat crochet type, having the open areas where the metal can be seen beneath. The ball is a fine acorn bullion type, and the stuffing is the black thread insert. These type of knots were used on early SS silver swords prior to the introduction of the 1936 model. We know this to be a fact, as we have seen early swords come from veteran sources with these knots on them. A good chance to acquire a rare knot, should you be so lucky to have a rare sword. If not, it might be worth your while just to purchase the knot in the hopes of finding a proper SS Sword for it someday. If you never do, at least the knot will make for a nice display with other SS items. A rare knot here!

ACCOU #29467C TeNo Officer's Brocade Hangers

This set of TeNo Officer's Brocade Hangers measures about 10 inches overall in length. Looking at the reverse of the straps I can see where they have been shortened by about an inch. Where the straps are turned over at the back they also have been period stitched so that they are properly secured. The straps were worn this way as the other folds are permanently formed in place. This black brocade features twin sets of aluminum lines running the length. There is little to no wear on the obverse and the same is true to the reverse high pile black velvet. The clip at the top is an aluminum closed style. The buckles are around having the gear wheel surfaces that we see used for TeNo. The slides below have a slight darkening to them to match the factory blackening on the recesses of the buckles.

ACCOU #28972C White Bayonet Frog

This White Bayonet Frog appears to be the size that would be used for a "butcher" type bayonet, or one with a larger proportioned scabbard. The frog has been coated with a white finish. Overall the leather is somewhat hard and could use a little bit of nurturing to soften it up. The frog very much resembles the size of a Red Cross Hewer type. It is retained by four rivets which have also been whitened in the process. The reverse upper area has been stamped with the maker marking and date, “A. Fischer / Berlin C.2 / 1937”. These white finished bayonet frogs were used for Honor Guard duty such as the Feldhernhalle memorial, the honor temples or even guard duty at the Reich Chancellery. A rare accoutrement here.

The leather is the dark blue black color and has the usual sets of dual stitching running on the edges lengthwise of both straps. This leather shows only minimal age. The upper snap clip is the style that has a pebbled finish and is silvered. The clip is marked on the reverse with, “RZM M5/10”. The buckles and slides feature raised oak leaves and the silvering still remains across their surfaces. The deluxe style “push-up” snaps are the style with oak leaves raised out of the obverse. They also still have most of their silvering. This is a good set of RLB straps which would go fine with a Excellent Plus, Plus to Near Mint conditioned dagger.

Excellent Plus, Plus. $995.00

ACCOU #33641 Land Custom Official’s Hangers

This set of Land Custom’s Official's Hangers measures about 10 inches overall. The aluminum brocade straps feature twin green lines which run the length of each strap. The brocade shows some age and some minor soiling. There is also just the beginnings of a little fray but it is not bad. The reverse of the straps is covered in a green velvet material. This velvet also shows minor wear. The aluminum hardware consists of a closed plain box clip and the ovaled buckles and slides feature the pointed style oak leaves raised out of the surfaces. The lower snaps are the style that have “push-in” workings and they have a good majority of the aluminum plating intact. This set of straps would go nicely on an excellent conditioned Land Custom Official’s dagger.

Excellent. $695.00

ACCOU #33068 SS/Police Degen/Sword Teardrop Hanger

This black leather Teardrop Hanger measures only about 5-inches in length. The hanger is set up with a buttonhole at the top area which apparently connected some other belt style loop. I do not, offhand, know what type of loop this would connect to. The leather is still in good condition having a good black color. Connected to the lower portion of the teardrop is a nickel-plated unmarked sword snap clip. A good accoutrement here to hang onto the loop of your Police or SS sword.

Excellent. $250.00

ACCOU #33579C RAD Bullet Hanger

This RAD Bullet Hanger is the long type that is complete with a belt loop. The belt loop is retained by a wire-like fitting which makes it permanent to the lower section. This bullet hanger is of all matching black leather on the obverse. The leather has quite a bit of attic crazing throughout its surfaces but it is still sound. It is interesting to note that the exact copy of the RAD complicated scabbard designs is pressed into the lower part of the bullet style section. This pressed in design occurs when the heavy hewer is laying on this leather and there is a hundred degree heat in the attic. It makes for an interesting design here on this hanger. The snap clip is a heavy nickel type being unmarked on the reverse. The reverse of this hanger is black leather except for the lower bullet section which is a brown color. It looks as though at one time there was a felt covering over this brown leather but only traces of it remain. Still a nice example here to put with your RAD Hewer.

Excellent. $495.00

ACCOU #33126 Army Officer Hanger with Metal Tabs

ACCOU #33365C Luftwaffe Officer's Hangers

This set of Luftwaffe Officer's Hangers is still stiff throughout and if they were worn it was only once or twice The hangers have fine brocade fronts having the original purple gray textured color with twin lines of bullion stitching running the length. The reverse of the straps are the later type that do not have the velvet backing. As I say though, the straps themselves are still very stiff. The upper snap clip is a plain type which has a cast in “DRGM” marking on the reverse. Much of the original lacquer is still across the surfaces of this snap clip being at about 70%. The rectangular buckles and snaps features the raised out oak leaf motif and are also in pristine condition. The lower snaps are the “push in” type. They too have all of their original finish. This set of hangers measures eleven inches at their longest strap. A great example here to put with a Near Mint to Mint Luftwaffe Officer’s Dagger.

The snap clip on the belt loop is marked with a “A” and also has the RAD triangle with the year “38” stamped beneath. The lower portion of the hanger also has very choice black leather to include the lower bullet shape. The reverse of the bullet is covered in a brown felt which is mostly all there showing only mild surface wear. The snap clip on the lower section is marked exactly the same as the belt loop snap clip. A really fine conditioned RAD hanger here.

Near Mint. $595.00

ACCOU #33401 SS/Police Sword Hanger

This SS/Police Sword Hanger is different from any I have seen in the past but nevertheless is absolutely original. The hanger is only about 5½ inches in length. It consists of a belt loop with a teardrop attached to the loop. Riveted to the teardrop is a small leather loop which retains a nickel-plated snap clip. The accoutrement shows some age and wear overall but would still make a sound example to either attach to a degen or display with one.

Excellent. $275.00

ACCOU #33389 Army Officer Sword Portepee

This Army Officer Sword Portepee is in unissued condition, still having its original storage string around the leather strapping. The strapping however is still supple and will nicely go onto a sword. The strapping is of green leather having dual aluminum wire stitching running the length. The slide below is a matching green leather thong type with aluminum trim. The stem is the flat variety with the metal showing beneath the crochet-like covering. The oval ball is of aluminum yarn-like bullion. The stuffing is a green yarn-like material. Army sword portepees are getting difficult to find and if you have a nice lion head example I’m sure that a portepee of this caliber would nicely set it off.
