Heer Dagger - very rare maker

[fredswiss]

Tom Wittman's Army Dagger book indicates that this is a very rarely found maker's mark on a Heer dagger (I've been collecting since the late 70's and Herve never seen one before). The dagger has never been cleaned. Any and all comments are welcomed.

Scabbard is not generic A type?

Schlange, I agree. It's not a generic A type scabbard. As you noticed, the throat screw in not on the back but on the side of the scabbard but that's how it came back.
