    Woodwork - SA E. Gierling

    Hello Gents,

    Picked this up recently, an untouched E. Gierling SA dagger w/hangar, Gau Pommern, from the son of a British Vet. Needless to say I'm chuffed. I thought I'd share it with you all. I've had search for the maker and information is pretty scant, apart from the fact he made a lot of HJ knives. Is he marked on the McSsar list?

    On a side note, I haven't touched the dagger since getting it and don't intend to mess about with it however, what is the best wax and method of wiping the blade in preserving the blade?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,


    Very nice early SA by rare maker Emil Gierling


    rates a 9 out of 10 on the mcsarr scale


    use some renwax to preserve the blade.



    Regards Mac 66.

        Thank you, Mac. I've just ordered some. Always helpful.

        Thanks for the kind words Reichsword. The blade is actually in better condition than the picture depicts.

                  After the war many vets didn't handle daggers with much care and after handling it they always don't wipe the blade, as this appears to be one of those, but someone did try to wipe off some of the stains, and even without abrasives , it can shine off manufacturers grind marks, but still very nice, not too bad , but you get em as you get em....and I would wax it with the grain of the grinds....like sanding wood with the grain....although just wipe it on and off as necessary, and not more than necessary to keep the grind marks you still have....forget about the stains....

                    Thanks for the advice, Juoneen. I'll post some pictures after I've waxed the blade.

                    To the rest, again, thanks for the nice comments
