ACCOUTERMENTS SECTION - Part III



ACCOU - 190 - 19573 - GREY WOOLEN DAGGER STORAGE BAG

This fine grey woolen storage bag measures about 19 inches in length and the top part is 5 and 1/2 inches wide. It is equipped with a zipper at the top. The zipper has come loose from one side of the tabs, but this could probably be fixed easy enough. This bag has no moth holes and is really in great condition. The bottom portion is reinforced with a dark blue leather. I would think that this bag was meant to hold a Second Model Luftwaffe dagger. A good opportunity here to dress up your mint Luftwaffe example.
Near Mint $325.00

ACCOU - 191 - 18343 - GREEN WOOLEN DAGGER STORAGE BAG

This fine dagger storage bag is made of a dark green wool. The edges are trimmed with a grey binding material which is sewn to the wool. This bag measures 18 inches overall. It has a drawstring top and the edges have the pinching shear cut. This bag also has the name of its producer printed in red on a cloth tag sewn to the bottom. The name is “Lindemann Ohg/Wetter (Ruhr)”. The color of this bag would indicate to me that it was for the storage of a Land Custom Official’s dagger, but I could be wrong.
Mint Minus $325.00

ACCOU - 192 - 15024 - RUST COLOR WOOLEN SWORD STORAGE BAG

This fine sword storage bag is in full mint condition. It is a rust-colored wool which has a lighter color brown binding fabric sewn around the edges. At the top, it has the pinching shear cut and the original drawstring is present. This bag measures slightly over 37 inches and would be perfect for a choice condition Luftwaffe General’s Degen. A real beauty here.
Mint $400.00

 

ACCOU - 193 - 20042 - BROWN WOOLEN SWORD STORAGE BAG

This woolen sword storage bag is a fine deep brown color, and it has only a couple of nominal moth tracks in its surfaces. There is only one tiny hole and that is near the bottom area. This sword bag is sewn on all the edges with fabric reinforcement. The top area has the pinching shear cut. The original drawstring is weaved through the holes. There is brown leather reinforcement which shows age, but is still there at the bottom tip of this storage bag. This bag measures overall, forty inches in length and would be good for any Army sword.
Excellent Plus Plus $295.00

ACCOU - 195 - 5609 - GREY WOOLEN SWORD STORAGE BAG WITH MATCHING GREY WOOLEN UNDER THE TUNIC HARNESS

This is a great sword bag and harness outfit which was meant to be together. I think the pair would have been used with a Diplomatic sword. The grey woolen bag is in good shape throughout, having some moth tracks, but no holes. There is one cut near the edge about 2 inches down from the drawstring, but it is only an inch wide and was not done by bugs. This sword bag measures 41 inches in length and has the pinching shear top with grey drawstring. The bag is reinforced on the edges with a silk binding cloth. Accompanying the bag, is a matching woolen over-the-shoulder, under-the-tunic sword harness. The harness has a buckle which adjusts its length. Attached to the harness is a brown leather teardrop accoutrement which is fitted with an aluminum coated, pebbled snap clip. The snap clip is marked on the back “A” and “DRGM”. The back of the teardrop leather is also lined with wool matching the bag as well as the harness. A very beautiful combination here and possibly one of a kind. If you have a Diplo sword you are displaying, this would make for a great package.
Excellent Plus Plus $500.00

ACCOU - 196 - 4538 - GREY WOOLEN DAGGER STORAGE BAG WITH HANGER SLOT

This dagger bag measures about 16 and 1/2 inches. It is of grey wool and is in good condition throughout, having some moth tracks on both sides but no holes. The bag is stitched on all three seams and at the top it has a working zipper. Looking inside, there is a separate pouch which has been made to accommodate a set of hanging straps. This bag looks like it would be good for a RAD Officer/Government Official or nice Army dagger. A fine example here! Excellent Plus Plus $295.00


ACCOU - 197 - 24717 - BROWN WOOLEN SWORD STORAGE BAG

This woolen sword storage bag is a lighter color brown color, and it shows almost no mothing, being in fine condition. The seams are all sewn throughout the three sides, the bottom having extra stitches put in for strength. The top of the bag is cut straight and it is equipped with a drawstring fed through its holes. This bag measures 42 inches and would accommodate a good long Army Officer sword. A fine bag here.
Excellent Plus Plus $295.00

 

ACCOU - 198 - 24718 - FIELD GREEN ARMY OFFICER SWORD STORAGE BAG

This Army Sword bag is a beautiful field green/grey color. It is in choice condition, having no mothing and still fairly stiff. The bottom has been reinforced with green leather which remains in perfect condition. The edges are all sewn and at the top there is a pinching shear crimp. The original grey color drawstring is in place. This would be a fantastic bag to display a mint Field Marshall sword or any special sword from the German army you may have in your collection.
Near Mint $400.00

 

ACCOU - 201 - 16021 - BROWN WOOLEN SWORD STORAGE BAG

This woolen storage bag is in choice condition, having no moth holes and being a lighter brown color. It is fashioned differently from many, in that there is no reinforcement at the bottom, but it also looks as though it was folded over at this point, with the edges sewn up the sides. The bag has a flap at the top which folds over with two working snaps. This bag measures 38 inches in length and would be a fine example for a nice Army sword. Lots of condition here and a beautiful display item.
Near Mint $295.00

ACCOU - 202 - LUFTWAFFE HANGERS WITH UNUSUAL WHITE BACKING

This set of Luftwaffe hangers features deluxe fittings throughout. They have the raised out oak leaves on the top clip, as well as the deluxe push-up snaps at the bottom. The buckles and slides are the standard types seen on Luft hangers, featuring raised out oak leaves. The straps are retained by fold-over metal tabs. These tabs are also stamped with oak leaves on the obverse and are retained by rivets. The brocade fronts are the standard gray style, having dual lines of brocade running throughout the length. The reverse though, is most interesting, as instead of the normal style velvet, they are done in a white velvet material. This is not something, which has faded over the years or turned color. It is easy to see these straps are white beneath all of the areas where they are folded at the buckle reverse. I have handled literally hundreds of Luftwaffe straps and this is the first set I have encountered with these white backings. It is always possible that someone grabbed the wrong material when they were made but I tend to think that they could have been designated for Herman Göring Division usage. This of course is only speculation but they sure would look great suspended with a uniform from this elite division. These straps show only minor usage and still look great. They measure 10 ½-inches overall. Excellent Plus (21810) $295.00

ACCOU - 204 - DIPLO / GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HANGERS

These hangers are the herring bone style and are the early blue-backed type. They measure 10 ½-inches at the longest strap. The brocade shows minor age in the surfaces, but basically, they are still in good condition. The reverse velvet is the deep blue color showing only minor wear. The upper snap clip is an aluminum plain style. It shows some wear at the top of the clip commensurate with the condition of the straps. The buckles and slides are the silvered type and they feature vaulted oak leafing. The lower snaps are the “push-in” plain style having silvered surfaces. The silvering is worn from the areas where the dagger would have hooked in. All in all, though, a good set of authentic straps which will go great with an excellent plus condition dagger.
Excellent Plus (21982) $1,995.00

ACCOU - 205 - DELUXE BROWN LEATHER UNIDENTIFIED RAD STYLE HANGERS

This set of hanging straps at first glance appear to be RAD officer, but I think it is possible they could be the elusive Government Official "work" straps. These straps are in mint condition measuring slightly over 10 ½-inches in length. This is a long length for RAD but not for Government Official. The straps are a tan leather exactly like we see on RAD and they have a gray felt backing. Unfortunately some moths have gotten to the felt, but there is still plenty there, and it remains at approximately 70% overall. These still mint conditioned straps are retained to the upper hardware via folded over tabs. These silvered tabs are rivet held and both have stamped oak leaf designs, and "DRGM" also stamped into the top folded section of each. They are folded over a closed pebbled box clip, identical to the type used for RAD Officer hangers. The buckles are the part which makes me think these could be Diplomatic Work Straps. The buckles are not the standard pebbled type. They are rectangular but have the raised oak leaf design we see used with Government Official and Diplomatic straps, as well as, Luftwaffe. It is certainly possible that these straps were just finished this way due to a factory error, but somehow I don't think so. The slides and lower snaps are the deluxe type normally used for RAD. They have pebbled surfaces and are the “push-up” style. Each snap clip is stamped on the back, "DRGM". These straps are very similar to the ones shown in Johnson Volume I, page 76 and 77, except they are longer and the buckles are different. A good one for someone out there that is adventuresome and likes things a bit different. Whatever these hangers are, they are absolutely original and of the period.
Mint (20482) $995.00

ACCOU - 213 - SS OFFICER BROCADE DEGEN SLING STRAP

This sling strap is one of the essentials if you want to complete your SS Officer's sword. This strap measures 14 ½-inches overall and is identical to the one I show on page 639, center, or 640, left, of my SS Book. The top section of the strap consists of a black leather belt loop, which is attached to a brass style wire with eyelet. Attached to the eyelet is a regain chain used to secure the sword and keep it steady while marching. The sling section is, in turn, attached to the brass-like wire section. It is made of a black leather which is stitched along both edges. The obverse has a beautiful silver brocade which has fine textured designs identical to the book pieces. At the lower area is a large silver plated buckle and hasp. Behind this, is a snap clip which is marked with an anchor and a letter, "S", superimposed. This is a textbook SS Officer sling and a real beauty here. These do not come up too often, so I suggest you grab the opportunity here.
Mint Minus (22379) $995.00

ACCOU - 218 - RAD OFFICER DELUXE HANGERS

These RAD hangers have fine brown / tan leather throughout. They show some mild usage but no abuse and the leather is still very sound with no signs of any rot. The reverse of these straps are covered in a gray velvet material. The right leg of the hanger is still perfect and the left leg has a little minor moth damage but it is not bad. These straps are retained with folded medal tabs at the top which are riveted. The tabs are attached to a closed box clip which has a pebble finish. The pebbling matches that of the square buckles and slides. The lower snaps are the deluxe push-up style having oak leaf raised out designs on the obverse. The reverse of these snaps is marked, "DRGM". This set of straps is identical to the ones shown on page 76 and 77 of Johnson I with the exception his piece has sewn leather tops whereas this example has the deluxe rarely seen fold over tabs. A very fine set of hangers which would go great with a choice RAD officer's dagger.
Near Mint (22568) $750.00

ACCOU - 228 - RLB OFFICER HANGERS

This set of RLB Officer hangers is as fine as you will see. They measure just about 11-inches overall and the blue black leather still remains new-like and in supple condition. This leather has four stitch patterns which run its length. It is the best set of RLB hanging straps I have seen in many years. The fittings are the standard type that we see. The upper snap clip is a pebbled surface variety still having about 95% of its silvering. Is marked on the back with the RZM markings, "M5/10". It is also "DRGM" marked. The oval buckles have the unique RLB oak leaves, as do the slides. The silvering is nearly perfect on this hardware also. The deluxe snaps are the push-up type, having oak leaf decoration and being marked, "DRGM" on the reverse. Even the snaps have at least 95% of the original silvering. This condition is very rare to see today and for someone having a near mint to full mint conditioned RLB 2nd Model Officer these hangers would be a must.
Mint (22986) $995.00(#050808)

ACCOU - 230 - EARLY STYLE RAD HEWER HANGER

This is the initial production style hanger and it is a black color. It is about 5 ¾-inches in length and is set up to carry the RAD hewer from the "U" fitting of the upper scabbard. The bottom portion of this hanger threads through the "U" fitting and then is buckled into place with a plated hasp and buckle. The original retaining leather loop is also in place. This is a fine hanger showing only minor age and is identical to the hanger being worn by the RAD man on the cover of Johnson's First In Wear Book.
Near Mint (23087) $375.00


ACCOU - 239 - FORESTRY CUTLASS TRODDEL

This Forestry Cutlass Troddel consists of aluminum bullion strapping which is decorated with twin green lines. These lines are wider than the ones associated with the hunting knot. There is a slide which consists of green and aluminum bullion weaved material and a flat crochet like stem. The lower ball is ovaled and made of bullion. It has green, yarn-like stuffing in the cat's anus pattern. This knot shows some age and has been on a cutlass. However, there is no fray, and overall the knot is in excellent condition. It is ready to finish the look of your Forestry piece.
Excellent Plus (23806) $195.00

 

ACCOU - 246 - RAD OFFICER DELUXE HANGERS

This set of RAD Officer hanging straps has the deluxe hardware exactly like the example shown in the Johnson Accoutrement Book on page 35. The only difference between the hangers is the fact that the book example has metal retaining tabs and these do not. The hardware, however, is the brass-based variety which has pebbled decoration throughout the top closed clip, the square buckles, the slides, and the lower snaps. This hardware also has a slight golden glow to it. The straps are an appealing tan color leather, which still remains in perfect supple condition. There is no rot evident in this leather. The straps are also decorated with a lined edge which runs the length of both edges. The reverse is also done in a leather finish, albeit somewhat rougher texture. This is an outstanding set of deluxe straps which will go well on your RAD officer.
