Most of my buying was done before 12 noon on the Thursday, as far as I am aware all of the HJ knives were sold before noon.

Gary

Glad to see you back Johnny!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for looking. The postcard of the building model is fairly common it’s the card of the ship that I’ve been hunting.

Thanks again
Don

I have seen many of these fantasy pieces

SLOW DOWN!! Let us see something.
Looked like good food.

The logo and motto look lasered to me, the preciseness of the lines is too severe for acid etching IMO. The other parts could be period but I don’t think it matters much either way. The piece has been constructed to deceive and any further qualification given on it can only assist those who make these things.

I'm having some further looks at that trademark. A late mark on an early miniature ... and I see the mark is not that well done

I concur exactly I am driving the 11 hrs to attend the SOS instead of 7 for the MAX.............just booked the hotel I've never experienced a "bad" MAX since 1994 before 2022 for me it was historically simply a matter of which was better that year....MAX or SOS. I won't beat the horse other than to say...disappointed but many felt it was great and had a great time. cheers and best, R

Hi Collectors
Just wanted you to know that I have posted a beautiful Stag gripped, etched bayonet by F. W. Holler
on my website for anyoneone whose interested.
Thank You,
Von Ryan

Ryan,, many of these customs guys know whats coming thru by what country its leaving from, and , from where its going to.. ,,, - No, not you,, but I'm calling some of them Thief's!

It has happened to many,,,and why many won't buy or even sell across an ocean!

- But anything can happen. I've given up on packages before only to have them turn up months later!!

Looks right to me

Petard,

Welcome to GDC.

You have the remains of an SA dagger by 1934-1936 by SMF of Solingen. Not much value left but more than $5.

I suggest you take a few more photos and post them directly to this site - not links - and you'll get good advice.

- LC ,more than likely yes..


The Niello type rings are very hard to find.. Don;t think there was one at the show nor have I seen any at the local shows... They also made cufflinks, bracelets and pins..

Some day I would like to make one of these shows but would probably need weeks to get around as my mobility is not good these days.
I should put my ring history in a display format. maybe some one would like to see. Market Garden started 17 September so it was my annual review of it. Ron

Beautiful dagger! I just bought the same minus the vertical hanger.

Thank you!

Thanks Gary for the information.

Michael

Not much else I can add to your description, a nice heavy Saufaenger, the scabbard fittings look to be case hardened which is always nice to see, shame about the missing skinning knife but it's rare to see in one of these nowadays.

Gary

a quick look,,,,,maybe the hallmark isn't good[?] Search here and internet and make sure. Compare first! But in general the photos are not good enough for the guys to scrutinize in order to determine authenticity..

A fairly common Eickhorn etch, "In Memory of my Service Time".

Interesting to know the Gruppe Mitte stamp is not so often see on Haenel daggers.

You are corect, it is black. I took photo on the daylight today, on photo it looks more darker than on hand.

Ps. Sorry for the late responce Herman.

The ones I have seen over the years are coming out of Belgium, but I don't know if they originate from there. Mine is a Luft dagger, box might be original but the dagger I don't believe so. Kept it because I got it super cheap, like $20.00. I was betting on the box, it could be worth a lot lol

THS,

I'd try the email address 3 posts up. GI Joe has not signed on since December of 2021

Dave

it is of the style.. The right pattern.. But I am looking for a jeweler made silver example of the period.. 800 content or higher IF made..

Yes Gaspare, the cufflink is Art-Déco with Spanish style. We will keep looking for comparison .
