Initial production Klaas SOS find - 02/25/2007 08:44 PM
First I need to thank Doug Ritchie for finding this for me buried in the sea of daggers at the SOS.
It is a very early Klaas in excellent condition with an almost mint blade. Tom Whittmann thought it may be one of the first 50 produced by Klaas. The hilt fittings are very heavy and have a lot of hand enhancement work done to the eagle, pommel cap and around the swastica. Everything fits together like a glove and was all skillfully hand fit.
Oh ya, It has my initials on the back!!
