Hi Scout and yes it is very rare. This was not a homemade hanger as this actually had a patent number..(PA-Nr: 1333897-1934) and was created by a Leather maker by the name of Fritz Rasp. This hanger could be worn in the vertical carry position as it also had a rivet on the back of the sleeve to turn it on an angle and carried at a 45degree angle. Almost the same theory as the Chained SS. Of special note that the patent date is the same year as the SS RZM control number year. There are more of this type of hanger found on early SA examples in brown than there are its black counterpart. Attached are a few more photos.
