beauty Heer dagger found at the SOS

[fdodge]

I must have been the only Heer dagger collector at the SOS (except for a glass gripped Luneschloss that disappeared) because I definitely got the cream of the crop. Although I got some rarer makers, this one stands out above all.
A small mm Tiger with trace frosting over coal black fittings. Full crossgrain on a mint blade. The scabbard matches the dagger perfectly in patination, and I got this for a very reasonable price.
I have a bunch of Armies; some shiny and some dark, but this is my idea of perfection. Completely untouched and perfectly preserved.....
Best regards,
Frank

omg. I accidentally took a good picture here!

Blades are hard to photograph and I'm working in the worst conditions here. I'm also no photographer!
The blade is flawless and shows no age whatsoever.

Frank great dagger-does it have a generic guard ?

[Larry Lipps]

Nice dagger! I also saw that glass gripped baby but when I went back the only thing left was its shadow.

Yes, it is the "Generic A" type.

Nice dagger! I also saw that glass gripped baby but when I went back the only thing left was its shadow.

I would have bought it but the blade was a roach. I have a Luneschloss that rates as probably the nicest conditioned dagger in my collection, and also one of the first ones acquired. You know, Pankowski took home a nice SMF and a Henckels. I wonder why they didn't sell. They had nicer blades than the glass gripped Luneschloss.
