Very nice pieces. Wonderful pommel with excellent detailing. I was fortunate to get an early double oval Voos and they are really quite uncommon. So, congratulation! Mine however does not have a slant grip.
Coincidentally I also have a Puma that is identical to yours in every way with the same wonderful hand enhancing to the x-guard.
Heartily agree that Heer`s are the best to be had. Either of those are more rare than other daggers that sell for 5 times the money. Well done!!

Very Nice early example Joel and very nice enhancing on the pommel with the acorn and oak leaves. Here is a pic I wanted to share that shows the same enhancing but not as early as yours. My Army is a Holler but I think second or third type. Best Larry

Your Holler has what is generally referred to as the 2nd variant x-guard. I have this type obviously from the same period with more graduations on the thermometer. I also have two very early pieces with 1st X-guard that have different marks. One the same as yours and one with more. I can only conclude that both patterns were available & being used during the same period. Yours looks like a very nice piece BTW

Thanks Landser its my one and only army and its in great condition. You can see it in Tom Wittmans Army book pg 84,, I think. I have the owners Soldbuch and hangers to go with it. I have seen far better examples on this forum than mine,, and Joels early example supercedes mine. I was told that the cross guard eagle is a Pack eagle,, so in another words mine is pretty common. Thanks again Larry

[quote=joelabrendola]My real passion is for the Heer Daggers, most of all very early period. Beautiful daggers, congratulation! You have an amazing early Heeres collection! I really like them too. Siegfried B, would you show us please a photo of the reverse crossguard? It seems there is something there... Probably date "1941"? Janos

Siegfried actually that guard on your Holler is very hard to find it is a pack but hand finished by Holler notice the punched eye and crescent mark to the rear of the head as well as the 3 chisel marks to the neck

Joel:
Now that is a sweet suite of slants!
I am not a Heer man myself (only collect the various Eickhorn TMs on Heers), but this display makes me want to rethink that position.

Doc The aluminum fittings are used early in the period sometime after the initial production say 36-37. Your dagger would certainly have a tapered tang and these fittings are made by Pack and always exhibit beautiful hand workmanship IMO these aluminum hilts are highly prized by Heer collectors.
