Heer Dagger hangers a different variant

[KurtSteiner1974]

Hi, I'm adding another variant of early deluxe hangers from my collection.

Hi Kurt
that is not an original army dagger hanger.
The top clip is not army but luftwaffe.
A so called put together piece.

I asked Mr. Wittmann personally about this hanger 11 years ago and this is his answer:

"Thank you for sending the email with the picture of the Alcoso-produced Army dagger. I think you are asking about the hanger. Yes, you are correct that the top clip would be incorrect for an Army dagger, as this clip is normally seen with the 2nd Model Luftwaffe hanger or also on the red Cross Leader hanger. It is possible that the original owner of the dagger preferred this style clip and may have had it changed during the period.

We never see everything in this hobby!

Best,

Thomas T. Wittmann"

Dealers will always try to explain what isnt textbook and not as it was when it left the plant.

This post is not about hangers with no army fittings, otherwise all is possible, isnt it?

I'm adding more photos showing even wear on the top carabiner with the bottom carabiners and I don't see any signs of overstitching to tell this hanger to be put together piece after WW2.
