| SA, (Sturmabteilung),
Brown Shirt Dagger Hanger |
 |
1GD-2AEX. 9/16-inch
wide, brown leather SA dagger hanger with nickel buckle and snap. The
leather is worn and cracked from repeated use, however it is still supple
and completely serviceable for display. The tip of the strap has not been
altered and it is complete with its original belt loop; the backside of
the leather strap is clear and heavily stamped, “RZM L2/371/41,” (the
/41 part of the number refers to the date). The strap retains much of its
brown colored leather finish, except in the area where the dagger hung
from it and where one would normally expect to find wear on the leather
near the metal parts. The heavily nickel-plated oval metal buckle sill
retains approximately 95%, or more, of its original silver finish, which
exhibits light age and is slightly crazed with very minor surface wear in
some spots. The front of the nickel-plated snap retains approximately 95%,
or more, of its original silver finish, which is lightly aged, lightly
crazed and insignificantly worn, in some spots. The front is lightly
soiled and has extremely minor and insignificant spots of brownish surface
rust, which could be greatly improved by light cleaning, if you were
inclined to do so. The backside of the nickel-plated snap retains at least
90% of its original silver finish, which exhibits moderate signs of age,
surface scratches, as well as overall, very light, brownish surface rust,
which could also be improved by cleaning. The backside is deeply stamped,
“RZM M5/8,” (M5/8
E W. Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid); soil and rust are imbedded into
the stamping. The spring for the snap-latch is completely missing,
however, the latch can be pressed into the closed position giving the
appearance that there is a spring holding it there. Overall
the hanger is in sound collectible condition and would display nicely with
a lightly aged, moderately used SA dagger. Vg. $75.00 SOLD |
| Army Officer
Dagger Scabbard – Silver Plated Finish |
|

|
1GD-3. 11-3/16-inch long scabbard for WW2 German Army officer
dagger. The front and backside of the silver plated scabbard has a pebbled
finish and the tapered sides are smooth. The, separately applied, double
hanger bands are impressed with a detailed, wrap around, oak leaf and
acorn design; the hanger rings are welded closed and the seams along the
length of the scabbard are welded and finished to prevent detection. The
throat is formed in the shape of the blade and it is held in place by one
screw on the pebbled backside. The silver plated finish is moderately aged
and is moderate to heavily tarnished from years of storage; there are very
slight and insignificant signs of wear. There are many light to heavy
blemishes and rust bubbles coming through the silver plated surface
throughout the length of the scabbard; no dents, bends or other damage. When
purchasing a dagger scabbard, one must take into consideration that every
blade does not fit perfectly into every scabbard. A very sound example of
a scabbard that was probably in mint condition when it was liberated by a
WW2 GI. About Vg-. $125.00 |
| Dark Brown Leather
Belt Loop With Silver Metal D-Ring For Attaching Dagger Hangers, As Well
As Other Equipment To A Belt |
 |
1GD-4RF. A
small and piece of equipment that has always been difficult to acquire.
This example is 15/16-inch wide x 3-1/4-inch long, including the
“D-ring,” and is constructed from thick brown leather with, what
appears to be, a simulated pigskin surface. One end of the
leather is tightly sewn around a, thick, silver aluminum fitting in the
shape of the letter, “D,” (hence, the “D-ring” designation). The
leather loop is constructed wide enough to fit over the standard enlisted
man’s belt. The leather has a dark brown, aged patina from handling, use
and storage; the leather retains most of its original dark brown finish;
the leather is supple and sturdy and has some very light and very
insignificant surface cracks that are not damaging or detracting and
mostly unnoticeable; otherwise the leather is still very pliable and very
serviceable for display. The metal “D-ring” appears to be constructed
from hardened matte aluminum alloy, which is moderately aged and lightly
worn from actual use. Unmarked.
A very nice, used, example in very sound condition. WW2 period
examples are difficult to find. Scarce. Vg. $ 30.00 SOLD |
| Dark Brown Leather
Belt Loop With Silver Metal D-Ring For Attaching Dagger Hangers, As Well
As Other Equipment To A Belt. The
Leather Is Lightly Stamped, “Gustav Vogel, Chemnitz 1938” |
 |
1GD-4a. A
small and piece of equipment that has always been difficult to acquire.
This example is 15/16-inch wide x 3-1/4-inch long, including the
“D-ring,” and is constructed from thick brown leather. One end of the
leather is tightly sewn around a, thick, silver aluminum fitting in the
shape of the letter, “D,” (hence, the “D-ring” designation). The
leather loop is constructed wide enough to fit over the standard enlisted
man’s belt. The
leather has a dark brown, aged patina from handling, use and storage; the
leather retains most of its original dark brown finish, which is
moderately worn off in some spots. The leather is supple and sturdy and
has some very minor and very insignificant surface cracks that do not
present any problem at all. The leather is still very pliable and very
serviceable for display. The metal “D-ring” appears to be constructed
from hardened matte aluminum alloy, which is moderately aged and lightly
worn from actual use. The backside of the leather is very lightly stamped
with the makers name and location, “Gustav Vogel, Chemnitz 1938;” the
stamping is very light and not completely legible, it took us quite a
while to decipher the complete lettering. A
very nice, used, example in very sound condition. WW2 period examples are
difficult to find. Scarce.

| Hammered Brass
Scabbard for Navy Presentation Dagger |
 |
1GD-5. 11-5/16-inch
long scabbard for WW2 German Navy officer dagger. The exterior of the
scabbard has been crafted with an overall hammered, (small peened marks),
pattern; the, separately applied, double hanger bands are impressed with
an oak leaf and acorn design; the seams on the hanger rings are welded and finished to prevent detection, as are the seams
along the length of the scabbard. This variation scabbard design could be
purchased, and worn, at the owners option; also, this variation scabbard
design was regularly used for daggers purchased and presented for special
occasions or given as gifts to those who possessed the right to wear the
dagger. This specimen has been used; the throat exhibits moderate to heavy
impressions and scratches from inserting and removing the dagger, the
throat is constructed of gilt steel and is magnetic, (a brass throat would
be more susceptible to wear from normal use). The screws used to hold the
throat in place are not present. There is, one, thin piece of wood inside
the scabbard, which is used to protect the blade from rubbing on the
inside of the scabbard and becoming scratched. Normally there are, two,
thin pieces of wood, which are positioned on either side of the scabbard,
between the extension of the dagger throat and the inside of the scabbard;
the wood is held tightly in place, by compression, when the throat is
installed and screwed in; the blade will then run smoothly along the
length of the wood, protecting it from scratching, unfortunately, the wood
also had the tendency to hold moisture, which contributed to the demise of
many un-cared for blades. The scabbard has an overall dark brass
patina and light wear acquired from years of handling and storage, as well
as some light scratches and a few light to moderate surface nicks. The
front side has two light dents, more like impressions, (nothing too
serious or detracting) and one, small, black blemish, (nothing serious).
The backside has one lightly impressed spot near the tip; these
detractions are not very serious and not actually noticeable at first
glance. An original hammered Navy scabbard is almost impossible to
find by its self, in any condition; this one is a nice used example with
honest age and wear that is consistent with light use. RARE.

| Army Officer Sword
Knot, Small Size Variation With Two Rows of Metallic Thread on Gray/Green
Leather Strap |
 |
1GD-6. An
official, slightly smaller, variation of the WW2 German officer sword
knot. The silver tassel and crown, is approximately 1-1/2-inch wide x
1-3/4-inch high and is constructed from, very closely spaced twisted
silver cord; the underside of the tassel has a grayish metallic insert.
The stem exhibits a silver wire checkerboard pattern over a bright silver
background and the top edge is trimmed with one band of twisted silver
cord. The gray/green leather slide is trimmed with very thin metallic
thread. The gray/green leather strap is approximately 14-1/4-inch long and
has a double row of silver metallic thread, (NOTE: As a comparison, the
large size officer’s sword knot has a slightly larger tassel and three
rows of metallic thread on the strap). The tassel and stem exhibits
moderate signs of age, use, as well as a few spots of soil; the leather
slide exhibits light to moderate wear to the gray/green finish; the
gray/green leather strap exhibits moderate, (heavy in a few spots), wear
to the leather and some of the metallic threads have become unstitched,
(still looks pretty good). This official German Army, small size,
variation sword knot has seen moderate use; however, it is still quite
sound and serviceable. Avery nice used example. About Vg. $75.00 |
