CONGRATS ON YOU VERY RARE FIND. PAUL
Congratulations Mr.Mike
An SA collectors achievement, Regards Larry
Mike,
Great news!!
OK .... what's the next challenge ?
Amazing! Has anyone done this before? If not an award is in order, I would think. Congratulations!
Hats off you my friend a rare achievement.
I agree an award is in order-he worked long and hard for these 214 SAs-Mike
Quite an achievement, very impressive, my thumbs up.
I agree, but none of our current awards seem to fit. I'll talk to Vern about a new one.
May I add my congratulations as well. Where do you go from here? Upgrade pieces over time…perhaps add trademark variations?
I can't imagine how it is possible to find all the makers. But you did! Congratulations!
Regards, Wim
Didn't bob sherborne manage it a few years back
I'm deeply impressed. All makers ... That's quite an achievement, considering some of them are almost impossible o find in (at least) decent condition. Respect.

I also wonder about condition. Is it possible to gather them all in an untouched condition? I mean: nice grip, a fine blade, a relative perfect scabbard and no crussed scabbard ball. I know that Herman has a lot of very nice SA daggers but is it also possible when your collection runs into the hundred and you have to search after very very rare makers?

My advise would be if you see a manufacturer that you do not have, buy it. You can always replace it if you find a better one down the road. I can't tell you how many times i passed on a dagger and then not seen another for 5 years.With the McSarr 1thru 7 you will be able to find quality daggers at reasonable prices, above that the game begins to find a presentable dagger at a price you can afford.

I can understand that. Believe me; you don't wanna know what I have paid for that Wielputz

Worth Every Penny Wim
I know the feeling
Glad you found that Haas ! Congratulations on completing the set . Keep on the look out im sure a new maker is waiting to be discovered.
WOW! Congrats on this acheivement! Lets see a "Group picture!" that would be impressive! Kevin.
Congratulations!
What daggers of the most difficult to find? Who are these makers? For example the 5 most rare?
Ilya: I don't know if I'm really qualified to answer that question - Dr McAlvanah or Paul Hogle would be vastly more qualified but my list would be 1. Melcher, Arthur 2. Haas,Carl, 3.Hack.J.,4. Malsch, A., and 5. Reuleaux, J.
Congratulations Mr. Mike! That was a tough one. Hope to see them some day.
Best..Rick
Once you get to the "10" rated daggers on MCSARR, I think that the difficulty in finding a dagger reflects more on an individual's difficulty in finding that particular dagger.
Thats some achievement well done
August Malsch Fr Sohn,,,,,Notice the maker mark is incorrectly applied!
