Title Prussian drum hanger
Nationality German
Period c 1870
Sold

This bronze drum hanger, strongly influenced by the French Napoleonic model, was carried post-Waterloo through to WW1 by the Prussian army. The iron hooks are heavily corroded, but the bronze eagle is in relatively good shape for its age. This was worn by the drummer on a leather strap across the shoulder.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
