ACCOUHANGERS #41283 Luftwaffe Officer's Hangers
This set of Luftwaffe Officer's Hangers is in very choice condition. The 10 inch brocade straps are retained by gray leather tabs. Usually when we see these leather tabs they are brown, but these gray variants were much more color coordinated when matched with the uniform. The brocade is in perfect condition, trimmed with aluminum wires that run the length. These 10 straps have a plain backing as opposed to the more commonly seen velvet; apparently this was done as a cost cutting measure when the war broke out.
The hardware is the deluxe type. The snap clip is decorated with raised oak leaves and marked "UE 10 RZM" on the reverse. The buckles and sides are in first rate condition, with a pattern of fine oak leaves. The "push-up" snaps also have an oak leaf pattern on the obverse and are marked "DRGM" on the reverse.
If you have a mint, wartime Luftwaffe Dagger (especially one with a white grip) these straps would complete it perfectly.

ACCOUHANGERS #39539C Hitler Youth Leader’s Hangers
It is a very rare event indeed that I am able to offer a set of Hitler Youth Leader’s Hangers. These hangers recently came with a HJ Leader’s Dagger from a western Pennsylvania family.
These hangers are the style that would have been worn with an Eickhorn HJ Leader’s dagger; I know this by the RZM and maker’s marks that appear on the leather. They are slightly longer than those used with Hörster examples, measuring 10 ¾ inches overall. The leather is in perfect, supple condition; it is a great looking blue-black leather.
The shorter hanger is stamped on the reverse with an open RZM circle and the code of the leather producer, “L2//4/37”. “37” of course is the year of production. After the code is three-legged swastika stamp, clearly indicating that these hangers were made by the Lüneberg firm. This is the firm that made the famous cased hangers that accompanied the Viktor Lütze Feldernhalle Dagger.
The hardware consists of plain silvered metal. The reverse of top clip is marked “UE 10 RZM”. All of the silvering remains on this piece of hardware. The same is true of the buckles and slides, as do the “push-up” snaps. The snaps are marked “UE 10 RZM” and “DRGM”.
These straps are ultra-rare and represent an amazing opportunity to complete an appropriate HJ Leader’s Dagger. You will be hard pressed to find another pair these days.

The "push-up" snap clips also have this gold tint, as well as raised oak leaves on the surfaces. Both of the snaps are marked "DRGM".

There is no question that these are original, period hangers. To me they look to be a set that could have possibly been made for some type of prototype dagger. I show an original prototype SS Dagger in my SS Book on page 649; the accompanying straps are very similar to these. There is also another Alcoso prototype shown on page 644 with similar straps.
A good set of hangers for the thinking man, or someone who love to research mystery items.

ACCOUHANGERS #40314C Unidentified Hangers
These hangers are of unknown origin and purpose; this set is a real head-scratcher.
The brocade fronts are the typical Army type, with textured surfaces. The reverse, however, are late, black textured cloth as opposed to the normally seen velvet. Studying the sewing of the hardware and the wear to the material, these hangers were definitely worn during the period.
The upper clip is the standard box type, and the oval buckles and slides are decorated with raised oak leaves. The snaps are pebbled, "push-in" types with square tops where they go into the material.
Although I do not feel that there is such a thing as a "1st Model Railway Dagger" we do acknowledge black grip Klaas pieces as legitimate variations. These straps would certainly go nice with such a dagger. As to their actual purpose I do not know, although I am certain they are original.

The buckle above is the typical nickel variety, and is marked on the reverse with a large “A” and the initials “A” and “S” below. To the right of this is an RAD triangle and the date of production “37”.
The reverse of this hanger is all in brown leather. It is marked with apparently the unit of the RAD it was assigned to, being “1 38 B. A. Fü.”. Additionally it has the maker mark “Th. Seibod/Offenbach A. M. / 1937” stamped into the surface.
This hanger is really a top of the line variety, and is still in outstanding collectible condition. It would really enhance a nice RAD hewer. These hangers are getting difficult to encounter, and nice ones like this come with a pretty good price tag attached.

ACCOUHANGERS #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
ACCOUHANGERS #35862C Long RAD Bullet-Style Hanger with Belt Loop
This RAD Hanger is a very fine example being the two-piece type. The upper portion has a belt loop with nickel snap clip attached. This clip attaches to a wire holder which is attached to the lower leather portion of the bottom of the hanger. The bottom portion features the bullet style RAD leather backing which protects the wearer’s leg area from wear to the uniform.
There is a snap clip which rests as the upper portion of the bullet leather. This snap clip as well as the snap clip for the belt loop are Assmann marked and also have the date, “37”. The reverse of the hanger has a brown colored leather while the obverse leather is all black.
This hanger is in exceptional condition and would nicely accommodate a good conditioned RAD hewer. These two-piece hangers are quite difficult to find these days.

ACCOUHANGERS #35353 Unidentified Black Leather Hanger
This leather hanger measures about 5 1/2 inches in length, and about 3 1/4 inches wide, with the built in belt loop being slightly narrower at the upper section. The hanger is composed of fine black leather, which is nicely made, and has two, standard SA style, snap clips installed at the lower section. The snap clips are leather retained, which is further held by rivets. The reverse of the hanger is a fine tan color.
I do not know the purpose of this hanger. It is possible that it is some type of an equipment device, but I do not know. If you do know what this hanger is, it could be a great addition to your collection of field gear, or whatever.

ACCOUHANGERS #37827 Kriegsmarine Hangers
This set of Kriegsmarine Hangers is the gilded aluminum type. The gilding is in excellent condition, being 100% intact on the short strap and showing just the most modest of wear on the lion mask on the longer strap.
The strap are the black lined moire type with black velvet backing. The velvet is in excellent condition on the short strap, while the longer has evidence of a minor repair. This repair was implemented between the two buckles of the lion mask. It is not that noticeable and doesn't detract from the set, and looks to be period as it does not glow when subjected to a UV light. The upper clip on the short strap is equipped with a hook and regain chain.
A good set of Kriegsmarine straps here, priced accordingly due to the repair.
Excellent. $495.00

ACCOUHANGERS #28489 SS/Police Degen Hanger
This Degen Hanger is nearly 8” in length. It consists of a straight black leather strap, which is bent over at the top to secure a pebbled “D” ring. There is a boss which holds the leather in place.
At the lower area there is a nickel-plated buckle. Attached to the the reverse of this buckle with an additional leather strap is a black painted “dog leash” style snap clip.
The hanger shows some mild use, but still has fine leather and pleasing black surfaces. This is an excellent hanger that would have been affixed to a snap clip on a belt and attached to the sword from the carrying ring on the scabbard.
I have not seen this configuration in the past, but it is certainly a fine, rarely seen accoutrement.
