F.W. Holler Early Heer

[WW2-Collector]

F.W. Holler early example with the Holler type-1 guard. Nice hand detail work to the guard and pommel. Brass scabbard has a double screw configuration and small rings. Dagger has allot of lacquer clinging to the surfaces giving it a pleasing tone. The maker mark is facing the front and left the factory in this position. Rear of crossguard is personalized with a stamped A

Tom:

Can I see a closer shot of the maker mark? Is this the 17 tick or the 19 tick version?

Serge No it’s not numbered to my knowledge none of the early Hollers are. Weyersberg and Horster did number some of their early examples.

Wow !

Tom, is this one serial numbered ?

John Z it’s a 17 tick hard to capture a picture of the whole mark as it’s under the guard and the guard is nicely staked to the tang.

I bet that one is tight as a drum Tom!! Just a wonderful jaw dropper!! Good God man, your stable is full of these slanted beauties!! This one will be right at home, a great example of the initial Holler product!! Kevin.

Many Thanks for the comments guys John Z both my early Hollers are the 17 tick they are initial production 1935 vintage. Now with the 2nd luft making its appearance in 1937 I am willing to bet that the examples with the 17 tick blade are the earliest examples how many 19 ticks have you seen?

[Craig H]

As already stated a gorgeous early Heer . Nice .

Tom:

I recall seeing one 19 tick Holler posted on one of the sites, but which one and when elude me.

I would hazard a guess that the 17 and 19 tick versions were used early on and the 11 tick is a late version.
