S-094 Scarce Luftwaffe Trommelschere (Drum Hanger)
This is a sharp piece! It is made of a cast metal
alloy in the shape of an off-center half arch, and the design on the face is a
canted Luftwaffe eagle and swastika surrounded by oak leaves molded into the
metal (i.e. the insignia was part of the mold casting, not separately affixed
pieces). The swivel pin (allows the aluminum plate to pivot in a circle smoothly
through 360°) and the hinged base of the pin (attached to the mount on the
aluminum plate) does not bind through the full range of movement. The natural
metal color has taken on a nice, light toning. The back of the hanger plate is
maker marked Gebr. Orban Hirschbach (Orban Brothers, Hirschbach). The highly
textured (not smooth) brown leather hanger strap with its large, somewhat
rectangular "D" ring is in fine condition, and all of the leather
stitching is sound. Superb example of what is one of the more desirable drum
hangers.
