Gentlemen,

I'm very pleased to show you one of my favotite SA's, being one of the best conditioned SA that I've ever owned.
It also rates as a 9 on the McSarr SA rarity scale.
I always say to myself that this one will be my last SA dagger..............but I just can't.
How could I say no !

Jim

Unbelievable Pat, can�t believe it�s for real,

Sam,

It looks like both Pat & Sam do all of their photography in Sam's laundry...

Scott,Please don�t tell anyone about it...

Sam,

I guess I better post pics. of Pats Alter ego before someone get the wrong idea! The only item showing wear is the strap for the vertical hanger: However the hanger is staying since the original owner personalized it with his name "Hembuchlin" on the back:

The rest of the dagger is in remarkable condition for around 70 years. The blade for example just shows runner marks. I had to pry this one back out a prominent dealers hands who spotted it in my collection when visiting here awhile back:

Great daggers guys. thanks for sharing!

Well, Patrice
This is the kind of SA I�m looking for, but due to pieces like this are very rare I purchase personalized Heer.

Incredible dagger, friend

Boy, those are pretty close to perfect daggers, especially when you consider that the hand is holding up what I interpret as a glass of rum! Mike

when you lookup the word MINT in a dictionary.. it shows a picture of patrices ohliger...

Wow Patrice! Stunning!

You say its the best conditioned SA you have ever owned. It the best I have seen.

I would challenge anyone out there to show an SA in better shape than this!

Come on guys,, What you got?

Oh ya,, That rarity thing kind of bumps it up a little too!

For a couple of you who have asked. Yes there are several things I could do to upgrade the apearance of my NSKK. For example. Re-dying the vertical hanger to make it look "mint" would create an immediate visual improvement. Gently polishing the metal would give it gleam albiet a new looking gleam to me to me that I can live without. There's nothing IMO anyone could do to improve the grip which is just about as perfect as the day it was made.
All in all I prefer it the way I got it and will probably leave it this way.

Don't tell our wifes about it.
BTW SDP, I love your new avatar, real cooooooool.

Mike, nice to see you back on the forum.
Jim my friend, beautiful twin sister of mine.
Get that "vino" ready, I'm coming to Arizona in septembre.

DAAAAAAMMMMNNNNN PAT!!!!!!!


STUNNING!!!
Congrats,
Johnny

Pat:
The vino and other special treats will be ready and waiting my friend.
Jim

Freakin' awesome!!!

Condition wise, I have a few that are as nice as Patrice's Ohliger. Here's one.

This one is an NSKK.

This one is really nice.

Awesome. They don't get any better than this.
Your pics are good enought for you to join us........in Sam's laundry room.

Not to mention this one.

Keep the coming. What's amazing to me is there are so many nice ones around after all these years. This to me speaks reams about German quality and the fact that many Vets thought enoungh of these relics to put them away in virtually untouched condition. IMO We should all be honored to receive these items.

I wish my photographic skills were better. The Ohliger I pictured above has virtually all it's crossgraining remaining. I just don't have the ability to show it.
Jim

One of my favorites.

Louper again.

My favorite maker.

You just pick up those two recently Skyline?

John... one is relatively new. One is not. But they are almost twins.

.

Gotta love those grip fits.

Pat & Skyline I dont have anything to say but this
Hakan

Patrice, the grip has a few pressure marks, the fit to the crossguards a tad shy, and the blade has a few more speckles than I figured that you would accept............ have you sent your money in on this one yet ??

............ and a beauty!

Fine looking daggers!

PVON

Nice SA daggers guys! Here is a pic of my Ohlinger but darnit if some buggered it up .

Fritziii

fritziii;
Even though they can probably never be traced there's something about these personalized ones I really like. Nice example: I'm betting this one was done by the owner and not a jeweler.
Jim

WOW Pat! I just don't know where you can find daggers like that anymore? Really just a pleasure to see. Thanks for always sharing!
