Bensberg NPEA Student Dagger

[Ron Weinand]

Here is an ORIGINL NPEA Student Dagger from the scarce Bensberg School, Nickel silver lower crossguard marked B35 (an early one) in overall very good condition. Blade has full Burgsmuller TM with some cross graining remaining near the hilt and the upper portions with usual in and out marks and a couple of keeper stains in the normal places, but no nicks or sharpening. Nice wood grip with no chips or cracks. Horse shoe marked crossguards and scabbard frog stud has the H number on the bottom. Original paint is weak and rates only 40% with some surface rust and a couple of minor dents to the reverse. Original felt blade washer intact. Has old black bayonet frog in place. Usual terms and guarantee and comes with a signed copy of my NPEA Book. Rare dagger becoming impossible to find on today's market and its a real one, price is $4795 shipping included.

Ron, That's a nice salty 'been there' example, but it needs to be moved to e-stand.

Ron,

I think John Merling has B35 with a chained scabbard.

My bad, wrong section. Also, as no examples are known for Ballenstadt or Backnag, the use of the B is up in the air. However, this font matches the early ones for Bensburg INO.
