Mid-1930s German SA Three-Piece Dagger Hanger – RZM M5/25

An original German three-piece dagger hanger produced for wear with the SA-Dienstdolch – the standard service dagger of the Sturmabteilung, – “Storm Troopers”. This example is RZM marked M5/25, indicating manufacture under the authority of the Reichszeugmeisterei, most likely dating to the mid-to-late 1930s period. Designed to suspend the SA dagger in the correct vertical position from the belt. Leather All three leather sections display consistent age and tone, suggesting they have remained together as a set. The leather shows honest service wear throughout, consistent with age, yet remains strong and supple. There is one small section of missing stitching on the retaining loop beneath the buckle where the securing tab tucks through; however, the structure remains tight and functional. The popper stud functions correctly. Fittings & Clip The upper clip is clearly stamped M5/25 with the RZM double-circle logo. The spring action remains strong and secure. Fittings retain their original finish with natural age patina. No cleaning or refinishing has been undertaken. All rings remain tight. Overall A genuine, service-used example with a pleasing, untouched appearance. Not mint, not dressed up — simply an honest mid-1930s SA hanger that would complement a decent SA dagger well. Historical Note The SA dagger was introduced in 1933 as the standard service sidearm of the Sturmabteilung. Early examples featured nickel fittings before material economies led to transitional and later plated variations from around 1935 onward. Three-piece hangers such as this were worn for parade and political uniform display, suspending the dagger vertically from the belt. We ship to the USA, Europe, and most worldwide destinations.
