That's a very nice blade Nats! Nice catch... the condition of this dagger makes you forget the painted scabbard ;-)
really nice conditioned blade - everything clean and crisp - a great find !!!
Nice and an unusually deep etch for this maker
Stan... is there no gau stamp?
Hi Skyline, good spot, there is no Gau mark,!! I always thought all daggers were Gau marked,The other Helbig I have is Gau marked Mi
Cheers nats
Stunning find Nats!!...talk about ultra rare!! The low step on the lower crossguard..is a sight to see also.
Nats,
lovely blade on your Helbig SA
This maker mark was also used on SS daggers produced by Jim Atwood along with David Malsch SS in the 1960s with very poor maker marks & mottoes ect, Correct ?
