I dont have permission from Denny to share this image here (i didnt ask), but since it is available right now publically on another site, here is his collage of Tiger marks in chronological order
Thanks also to "Wotan" another generous and knowledgeable collector and moderator who also gave me feedback ahead of buying this.
Small alteration by wotan in accordance with Gustavo.

Gustavo-
Very nice. I really love the white gripped Heers. I've always said i'm gonna' find a nice one to hold onto..and certainly a named example like this one would be wonderful specimine for a collection.
Congrats on a nice one.

Thats a very nice Tiger Gustavo! Looking over the six variations on the tiger trademarks you posted above I was looking at one in my collection. Mine might be a seventh variation, Look at the similarity to type #2 but notice the diference in the "R". My dagger kinda looks like type 3, but spaced further from the crossguard. Mine is all early production with a tapered tang and an orange juice grip.

Thanks folks. At €520 or under $800, I am very satisfied with this purchase. Reseach wise, the chances of pinning this down to a single officer are very high.

Beautiful dagger Gustavo.
I didn't know that there were so many Tiger variations.
We never stop to learn in this hobby.

Gus, most of your daggers appear to be personalised, do you specialise or do you collect anything and just get lucky with the personolised ones Nolan

Gus I think todays collectors are faced with many choices in their collecting preference choices, much down to budget. When I first came back to GD's I wanted to do what I did back in the late 60's early 70's, i.e. have one of each, it soon became apparrant that that was not on, I just collect Heers and 2nd lufts now, to include etched when I can find nice ones at a decent price.
I have watched your collection grow on here (GDC)and you have some wonderful personal pieces, I hope you get many more.

Indeed, and hope I'll be able to see it with my own eyes, since I'll be meeting Gustavo in Madrid in the next few days.

Enjoy your trip Pat, Madrid is a beautiful city and I have to catch up on 749 posts so I'll be posting on every thing and anything  . Just BTW of course  if you happened to have that Luft with you in Madrid postage to UK would be cheaper than from the Great White North Seriously, have a nice trip Nolan

I believe so.
Brass base, heavy silver plate, taper tang, slant grip and earliest Tiger logo.
Some have called it the "Big Tiger or "King Tiger" logo.

Now I know which maker marked I want for my next Army dagger. I really love these personnalized daggers and yours Serge, is another fantastic example and a trademark to kill for on top of that. Where can I get myself a big Tiger ?

Thanks Hakan and Pat. With all that brass it's a heavy Army rig. To find a Big Tiger Pat? Not easy to find but you know Denny. I would see if he could be talked out of a Big Kitty. Regards, -serge-

Guys, one of u might want the early Tiger marked (big cat like Serge´s) transitional DLV at Wittmann´s site, with an amazing inscription dedication to the departing commander of an airfield. It was pictured in one of the books.

I think it was around 1am when I posted that Pat, listned to some music for an hour or so then definitely lights out by 2. Benny Hill, classic British humour, after political correctness killed him off in the UK I believe he tried his luck in the US but without any significant success, thanks for that Pat. Nolan
