Heer Tiger

[Francisque]

Hello,

Is this MM common on Heer dagger?
I've find other Tiger on the net but with different MM.

Thanks.

Tiger TMs on Heers and Luft2s are not commonly found.

I know of 4 different marks that can be found on Heers. I have three of them on Luft2s, two small cats with differing scripts for lettering and one large cat, all three have the TM run along with the blade.

What is not shown here and is, in my opinion, very hard to find is the very early mark used by Tiger with the TM cat and writing across the blade and parallel to the crossguard.

Thanks John.
On mine the Tiger inscription & the Tiger animal are inversed.

Francisque:

That is one version that I am looking for on Luft2s. It's alsmost as if the Tiger and the writing were done as two separate stampings.

I also have a Luft2 version without the cat.

At the request of Tanker, I am posting these two Tiger TM daggers.

The first one is an Army with the TM reversed, the cat before the words.

THe second one is the early maker mark with the cat and the words parallel to the crossguard. This mark is on a Luft1 and I have seen it on very early Armies as well, never on a Luft2.
