bought a dagger with an interesting suspension
Hi to all . I recently bought a dagger with an interesting suspension, the owner of the dagger says that this suspension was with this dagger, I found information about this suspension (it is a shoulder suspension for a dagger), but I have no idea how to wear a dagger with this suspension, maybe someone has a photo.
How it was worn before. thank you . sorry for my English (I'm writing through a translator)
What is the length of the suspension?
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
RZM Marking on the carabiner is fake IMO. "M/5/71/9". It should be "M5/71/9".

That RZM marking is not correct.
There was no dash between M and 5
The third, last number was always two digit and denoted the year of production (9 would mean then 1909, which is impossible)
And if it would be original, this item would be just a „simple“ cross strap, which was attached to the belt, but had nothing to do with the dagger.
I think your "suspension" is an over-the-shoulder strap as seen here

Ooops
47 centimeters
everything can be. there is logic in your words, although the suspension looks old, I found several items with similar marks on the Internet (one on the website of a Canadian dealer)
these photo I’m found at internet
oh thanks for your post, i think so tooI think your "suspension" is an over-the-shoulder strap as seen here

Ooops
I have no doubts that this strap is authentic...and heres why
Thankyou Messia for the updated photo in length showing 47cm / 18,5 inches....quite short for a shoulder harness for an adult let alone a child.
RZM/5/71/9
The first slash may be uncommon to see...but so are SS RZM numbers that have a dot between the M and 7 ( M.7/67 )
Not all M5 permits had this slash...but only a few as well as the dots seen inbetween M7s
Ther end number 9 is not a year date as Ivbaust has noted but its a supplement permit number that Overhoff & Cie used on 2 of their 3 M5 permits they were issued.
There were 2 supplement categories
One was for Karbiner hooks and the other for Party Administration buttons
The category for this permit had 17 listed producers for this type of permit and Overhoff was # 9
It makes sense due to the 43 cm lenght that this strap would of been attached to a rifle and not long enough for a cross strap for a duty belt ...and surely nothing to do with a dagger.
the # 9 is a supplement permit for HJ / DJ Carbiner hooks
