Hello folks,
I am familiar with the information found in 'Exploring the Dress Daggers of the German Army' concerning Spitzer's version. Having said that, I still have a few questions concernign the Spitzer army dagger...
1. Wittmann speculates in his book that they only produced daggers early in the period. Any thoughts on this statement?
2. Are 'genuine' Spitzer army daggers always found with this same unique crossguard or can a Spitzer daggers be found with a 'generic' crossguard?
3. Did Spitzer use a unique pommel cap, scabbard, ferrule, etc. throughtout the period, or can 'generic' parts be found on Spitzer pieces?
Always trying to learn. Thanks in advance for the help.
