This is the earliest configuration you will see on a slant Horster. The crossguard is a type-1 WKC. The scabbard is a typical early Horster really the most fantastic bands on these very similar to Eickhorn but different and more pleasing. The throat has two dome head screws and surprisingly the scabbard has quite a bit of lacquer remaining which has toned to a rich gold color perhaps a general dagger 
Not something you see often a slant with lacquer remaining. The dagger exhibits beautiful hand work throughout as you would expect on a dagger of this vintage and is internally numbered 36. While the dagger has a few condition issues they are certainly outweighed by the overall beauty and rarity of the piece. A good friend of mine dug this out of the woodwork and I thank him for allowing me to add this one to my collection.
