the links dont work, its one of these websites you need to talk someone through the pages to find the item you need, but i would shop about, i find this dealer charges 50% more than most others on the items i know about certainly

Welcome aboard.
I went to their site & found the dagger, it's a nice enough dagger, no problems that i can see BUT you can get one cheaper with a little shopping around & patience.
I would recommend our e-stand & the following member of this Forum if you want a UK purchase, his name is Ian:

www.simplydaggers.co.uk

I've had a few off him, always cheaper than any other dealer in the UK & the quality is great.
You really need to make contact with him & let him know what you're looking for though or at least get on his e-mail list.
Anyway, his sold section will give you an idea of price & quality. if i was at home i could show you the Heer i got from Ian for less than the one you're showing.
Good luck, Ant.

Thanks evil mike and ant,i will check out the website you mentioned,i was talking to this dealer about a possible part ex with another item ive got so if the price is good i may bite the bullet and trade. we'll see

Chris,
It looks like an unmarked WKC. Pretty clean dagger at a fair price.

Looks very good. You can find an army easily in this condition. Consider that a scabbard screw is missing.

No problem, a trade sounds good & the price isn't as bad as i may have made out, i just thought you could get a few pounds off if you waited, but with a trade then that doesn't matter so much.
Here's the one i got from Ian, was a little cheaper than the one you showed.

Thanks mate, Ian looks after his customers well, i'd mentioned on the forum that my next purchase would be an army dagger & sometime later i got an e-mail from Ian......
The rest is history as they say.
Anyway, be sure to show & tell when you get your dagger.......and be sure to put it in the scabbard the right way round otherwise you could push Seiler over the edge!
