AN EARLY RAD HEWER WITH UNIQUE INTEGRAL LEATHER HANGER.

Some things in this business never cease to amaze me. This is a lovely, early all nickel RAD hewer by Carl Julius Krebs. But it seems the original owner, either an RAD man/NCO or Officer, decided to fabricate his own unique way of carrying the dagger! He has decided to make an integral all covering frog, with a top loop and popper. The whole scabbard is beautifully covered in brown leather - and sewn in place so the scabbard cannot be removed. It extends behind the grip and is designed to slide onto a belt and be worn vertically. Very clever and beautifully done. Remember these early HEWER were worn by everyone until the officers dagger was introduced in 1938. This could quite easily been worn by an enterprising, high ranking officer instead of the cumbersome standard hanger.
Looks amazing!
