The first is often seen on private purchase Police bayonets but could also be for a degen with a slim scabbard. The second looks like a Luftwaffe sword hanger but if really green would be for Forestry or Hunting or even Land Customs

hi houston thanks for the info i have a couple of no 1 type hanger, but cant seem to fit any of my police bayonets or degans in them do you have a photo of one of the hangers in wear.as for no2 i think it is green so a great find for me.
thanks for your help dippy

Dippy,

I've seen your #1 type hanger on a Polizei bayonet before, in one of Johnson's books in the Unusual Blades of the Third Reich" section. I believe it was on a short private purchase piece with a stiletto blade. This might explain the reason it won't fit your bayonets, presuming they're regular sized cut down models. Very interesting looking hanger indeed, thanks for sharing it.

No in wear photos I know of.

Dippy,

I don't have any photos of this type piece in wear. The photo (or photos) I remember were in Johnson's series, my references are packed away & not at my current location. Otherwise I'd look up the photo(s) for you. There's at least one that I remember distinctly with that type hanger on a short private purchase Polizei bayonet. If I can get to the books this weekend, I'll try to find the volume & page for ya.

Dippy,
May i suggest you send me a one of those bayos and a deggen looks like you have no room left, free up some space share the load. hehehe

I too remember seen this type of hanger as well unless Billy beats me to it i'll post a page from johnson's book when i find it.

Eric

thanks for the great replies,will look forward to any info on the hanger,dont worry i will just start piling them up on each other.heheheheheheeee.
thanks dippy

I believe if you try it on that private purchase WKC Police you have there--it will fit. If not--It's for one of the slim degens.
