WW2 German Army Dagger Hangers

WW2 German Army Dagger Hangers are a period accessory used for suspending the standard service daggers issued to officers of the German Heer (Army) during the Second World War. Typically, these hangers consist of two adjustable fabric straps—often constructed from silver aluminum wire with green or field-grey backing—finished with metal clips and buckles. The clips are designed to attach securely to the dagger’s scabbard rings, while the buckles allow for length adjustment, ensuring the dagger rests appropriately when worn with a uniform. Common features also include reinforced leather ends and decorative fittings stamped or cast from metal, sometimes displaying subtle patterns. Hangers were an essential element of the complete dress uniform, used in formal and ceremonial contexts. Their construction and materials may vary somewhat depending on the manufacturer and date of production, but the overall design remained consistent through most of the war years.
