Sword hanger types

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, we all like to find Tassels for our swords, but what about hangers? Considering every officer would use them with their sword, they aren't often sold with a sword. One potential reason is the hangers remained attached to the belt, so if the officer hadn't surrendered (willingly or otherwise) the whole rig, he likely kept the hanger.

 

This would be a good chance to show:

 

  • Swords that originally came with a hanger/belt
  • Different examples of hangers (chain, leather, dress etc)

Lovely examples so far, multichain hangers are always nice to see. These are mine, only one came attached - not 100% sure it is original to the sword. It is an older style Kyu Gunto hanger, listed as an adjustable cavalry sword hanger in Fuller & Gregory's, and Enlisted/Warrant Officer Kyu Gunto hanger in Jim Dawson's book.

Thanks Marc yes I was lucky to get this one the wrap as gone like leather from use and when I received it the sword was solid couldn’t get it apart ...

A small time dealer got it from the family of the soldier named on the certificate .

He didn’t want to sell it originlly when he got it ..9C879E90-6DC4-4C5D-A89D-EF9929FB29E5.thumb.jpeg.ec0ccfa0e743e77fb75411c64748a7c4.jpegC1E349AE-55D5-4D20-A6BD-AD0B2DEDE87A.thumb.jpeg.a6564204cf4606fd43cabe8bb9b5f462.jpeg329FC07F-9B03-4E3D-AB2F-7698CCB5FBC4.thumb.jpeg.daa2b45442ec7b3d0d7c1a08ec7aaba8.jpeg

Yes Bruce, I have to wonder why so many are in v/good condition and yet ones like this still pop up from time to time.

 

Did they even need regular replacement (?)

 

Why did this one miss out (?)....due to cost, lack of available new parts or lack of interest from owner (?).

 

Whatever the reason, the only thing you could 'take to the bank' is that whoever used this, carried a sword regularly for long periods at a time.

 

Its all in the mystery 😊
