These hangers were used to attach the Luftwaffe sword to a waist belt. They are hard to find and this one is in very fine condition.
The two main parts of the hanger are made of brown leather with a dyed blue strip, also made of leather, sewn to the top surface, thus giving the item a blue face and a brown underside. The upper and lower sections are connected by a white metal ring. The upper section is for anchoring a support strap while the larger lower section mounts a flat white metal snap hook on the front for attaching the sword. The back of the lower portion has an adjustable loop for mounting to a belt.
Stamped into the back of the lower section is “SACHS & DEISSELBERG / HAMBURG / 1940.” Stamped below this is the Luftwaffe proof mark. Markings are excellent.
