German Imperial Eagle pattern drum hanger

Cast iron drum hanger made in the shape of a crowned Imperial German Eagle facing proper right. A pair or heavy duty cast hooks is welded to the reverse and loop forward to sit in front of the main moulding - these engage in the hanger mount holes at one side of a side drum. The eagle's tail doubles as a stopper to excessive rearwards motion when mounted. A double action swivel mount is located into the top of the hanger - a short loop of sewn dark brown leather is attached. The leather is impressed with the maker's details but only the date 1915 is now visible. The entire mounting is painted in a dark field green.

Specific history unknown.
