Heer Dagger FW Holler
Here is a current dagger from manufacturer F.W HOLLER.
I think she is good.
Silver plated is present at 99% on all parts.
I don't know if it's a beginning/middle or end-of-war manufacturing ???
I tried the magnet on the crossguard and pommel and it doesn't work.
But they are very heavy compared to aluminum, I do not know how it are ...Maybe brass ???
Thank you
That is a lovely textbook Höller type 3 in wonderful condition.
This is one of the earliest type 3 Höllers you can find, brass based pommel (rim shows brass colour)
The realy rare item here is that hanger!
Its an early DeLuxe type in aluminium with floral clips!
I have more then 1 in my collection, but these are realy very hard to find.
Production date end 1936 - mid 1937.
Great collectible set!

Hello, thanks for all these explanations, Gerrit .
I'm glad to know that it's a model of the beginning of war because the HÖLLER daggers are very common so it's always better....
You are right the hanger is not very common it is marked DRGM but unfortunately no manufacturer marking, can these hangers are private purchase ?
I would like to know if it was in the catalogue of the weapons F.W HÖLLER ???
If ever someone of you owns it can possibly confirm ???
Thank you
ofcourse its in the catalogue, but you will not recognize the guard as these catalogue pictures arent that acurate.by Mitsu
Hangers never have a makers mark, its the floral clips and the aluminium that makes your set rare.
I would pay 200-250 euros for a minty setbut thats because i collect early hangers and i do know whats rare.
Most collectors dont have a clue and prefer the later type Deluxe hangers.

About your statement that Höllers arent rare its all in the timeframe, talking about the early Höller slants then your talking about hard to find rare daggers ( type 1 & 2)
Try to find the army referencebook about army daggers "Heeresdolche" by Ger Hessels & Danny Rieske"
Regards,
Ger
_I had seen on the rarity scale that Höller was noted 1 and I did not know that there was a type 1 & 2. That's why .
I'm glad to see that I have a rare set .
I noticed that the floral clips were not very common but I didn't think that the floral clips + Aluminum set were even rarer ...
yes I will try to find this book "Heeresdolche" but also that of Ralf Siegert but not easy to find them in English ....
Thank you Gerr
I m not the one to judge a fellow author as Ralf, but having noticed over 30 mistakes within the first 40 pages of his army dagger book i just cant advice to buy his book.
Ralf put a book together with pictures he got from collectors, he didnt had them in hand.
Other thing is he quoted a lot of the Wittmann book that was published 30 years ago.
That was outdated years ago.
Im not promoting the book that Danny and i published 5 years ago but im pretty sure its way more accurate then the Ralf or Wittmann book.
Our book can be found on ebay.de at the dg.de site if your lucky, last time i checked he had less then 5 copies.
Cheers
Ger

seeing your beautiful collection of belt hangers I really want to complete my dagger / hanger set with the belt hanger.
Is there a particular belt hanger model that corresponds to the period 1936/37 ?
So that my ensemble is coherent ...
Thank you.
i would say take an earlier type..
Ger
What a beautiful dagger. Great eye candy!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
