I like that Klittermann & Moog. Are these daggers from your private collection Paul?
Cheers,
Gerry

These are part of a collection we purchased earlier this month in Delaware. You can see more of it here: Delaware collection on facebook As far as the K&M, these are interesting, these guys made two variation TM's in '39.

That is a beautiful dagger! It's a shame it's already gone!

Thank goodness you're referring to daggers. I got a little nervous until I opened up the thread.

I don't touch them myself, Paul. SS or SA
The early maker marked daggers are of a known quality. Mint, used, abused, sharpened, but still 100% predictable.
The "transitionals" are not. The crossguards can be early NS or plated zinc. Same with the eagles. The scabbard fittings can be NS or plated steel.
Your examples are great, though. Cream of the crop and quite desirable.
BTW, that K&M 1939 has two versions - with the RZM above and below the trademark

Great grouping, Paul!  And thx for showing! Gentlemen, By the way: the "transitional period" never existed. Nor for SA-NSKK-SS daggers, nor for HJ's. "Double marked" is a better term to refer to these, in my opinion! Very last daggers were made in 1942 (see pic). Best regards, Herman 1.JPG (101.2 KB, 101 downloads)
You never have enough HJ-knifes!
