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!! Big Grin

Eric,
It really is mint daggger. You told me two weeks ago you were looking for a dagger with your initials. You must be hung with horseshoes.

Thanks Guys,
You all know how hard it is to find a dagger or sword with your intitials on it, especially something in this condition and rarity.

When Doug showed me this dagger on Tony's table I had to have it. Its an opportunity that would never present itself again. I am pretty happy Doug got me together with you Tony! Big Grin
