Early army daggers hangers in all their Varieties

**gerrit** · 05-08-2021, 04:23 PM

Here are my early army dagger hangers, all differ, either in material or markings or in design.
The hardest to find are the early Deluxe ones: either floral motive clips or with nocks.
Earliest 1935-36 are the silvered messing ones, mid 1936 the aluminium ones came on the market.
Rarest imo is the full aluminium one with the floral design, very leight weight one.
Any floral or nock clips one is very rare, it took me quite some time to complete this set.
I also included the rare belt hangers too.
Enjoy the pics!

Cheers
Ger

Thx Gents for the nice words, appreciated.
Feel free to add early variations that arent shown.

I will add an early aluminium gilded Generals hangers which i was able to buy, being shipped as we speak.

Ron please add your Deluxe General hangers, they would be a great addition to this post, rare to see gilt wash on potmetal!
As we know gilt and silverwash dont hold good on zink based metal, and yours is in nice condition!

Ger

woua !
nice collection that you have there. Surely years of research....!

Those are some very nice hangers you show here Ger. Funny thing is that I know a lot of collectors of army daggers who just look at a hanger as just a hanger. Many of them only know the difference between an early and a late hanger (if you are lucky). Hangers are a very underrated part of dagger collecting in my opinion. Maybe that will change a little with this post.
