Very Nice !
Just a question , why would the hangers have such wear too the metal . But still retain the tags ?
Great observation CBH ..and I would have to agree on the hangers showing some wear on key points of carry, rub and swing. I cant explain the tag..but visually IMO..I feel these set of hangers were used at some point..yet authentic with the dagger itself. The silver Medallion tag is a curiosity which I never seen accompany the smaller aged control tag.
The dagger I do believe is unissued ..but not prone to aging and movement from over the decades. The blade is immaculate at a distance the fittings appear correct in detail.
Overall the dagegr and hangers are still a rare acquirement whether together or found separately. Greater of the 2 are the Hangers themselves.

a nice set none the less.
It just seems strange . A beautiful rare dagger .
Pictures are not the best. Where the frosting has gone the underlying finishes are not carry worn, but are uncleaned with local surface deteriation. Overall untouched; its old, but its new. Needs to be seen in hand.
The aluminium disc has RZM reference details of MPA inspection/approval.
The strings attaching the various tags are as originally tied and are now in a very fragile condition, they were certainly not intended to remain in-situ after nearly eighty years.
Great daggers them.
Never seen a complete tagged set! quite unique i would say.
Btw i have seen unissued hangers losing plating by deteriation very similar like this one.
Thx for showing!
