Rare 1920s US Army 92nd Division (Buffalo Soldiers) Pocket Hanger

This is a rare 1920s pocket hanger for the United States Army 92nd Division, also known as the Buffalo Soldiers. The division was comprised of all African Americans, and they borrowed their nickname from a sobriquet given to African American cavalrymen in the previous century by Native Americans. The hanger is two pieces of leather with a black and green enameled medallion showing a lone buffalo at center.

Circa 1920s.

Approximately 2-3/4" in height and 1-9/16" in width.

Multi-piece leather with enamel on brass.

Slit opening.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEX06 VAGEX10/10 SAGJX10/12

7+ (Very Fine): Hanger shows small areas of light wear.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
