UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Army, Navy, and Luftwaffe Forum Carl Julius Krebs

For all who have Carl Julius Krebs army or 2nd Luft daggers I'm looking for the small single oval maker mark and the position on the blade relative to the crossguard. If anybody has any examples I'd be interested in seeing them. As with most I have seen they have been positioned quite low on the blade perhaps 25-30mm below the guard, the one I am showing is placed way down near the crossguard.

Gary,

There are two single oval and two double oval TMs used by CJ Krebs. The differences are the single vs double oval and the size of the mark itself.

Here are shots of my single oval, and also my double ovals. The single ovals are pretty far from the crossguard, the double ovals are pretty close and the Voos-style etch version, as expected, is close.

Great daggers here.
John, are your C. J. Krebs blades nickel plated ?

Gary, is your Krebs a plated blade ?

Somewhere I have a Army that's a C.J. Krebs, aluminum hilt, plated blade. I've got to find it !

Thanks John that helps a lot
Hi Serge
Yes it's a plated blade.

Gary

Serge:

All plated blades.

Serge,

Last year I acquired 2 Luft daggers by CJ Krebs, one was a plain blade & the other had a Voos style etch. Both had the small, single oval maker mark & had high quality plated blades.

Congrats, B:

The Vooos style Krebs is a hard one to find.

Trying to keep up with you John but it's an endless endeavor & quite impossible

Did your etched 2nd Luft have the sprigs under the wings.
Thank you to everybody who is contributing.
Gary

Don't have a small oval Krebs to show, interesting piece here! Kevin.

Hi Gary,

Yes, my Krebs etched Luft appears identical to a Voos etch, including the sprigs. Working on a different computer & don't have a resizing tool but can email you some pics.

Hi Gary,
here a picture of my army dagger by Krebs.
Best,
Oleg.

Gary:

Here is the eagle from my Krebs etch, plus my Alcoso etch, Klaas etch plus an unmarked double etched piece that I own.

Oleg, nice Heer.

Thank you to everybody, great information here too help me.
John, that's an interesting blued panel, it looks to be the same style as the two in TW's book.

Gary

yeah.
