Per Ed's request, I will post pictures of my CJ Krebs 2nd Lufts.

Note that at one time, I also owned a 1st Luft and a Voos style etched 1st Luft (now for sale on Tom Wittmann's site) by CJ Krebs.

1st up is this large double oval marked 2nd Luft.

Here is the small double oval.

Here is the large single oval mark.

The small single oval mark

The marks compared.

One more to go.

This has a small single oval etch, but also sports a Voos style etched blade.

That's it, all I have in CJ Krebs at this time.

All from -Kronenkrebs- (crown crab) maker but you, JohnZ are the true and real king of crabs!
Very nice collection, thank you for the extra effort of showing them in a separate thread.
Regards,

John
Yes, thank you much.
A super collection.
Love that small single.
Thank you
Ed

PS: John, I have looked at that First Luft on TW many times.
I can only drool, and think how many firearms I would have to sell to own one.

You are welcome.

Woman, king of crabs? My wife does claim that I am a crabby type, but????

Hello JohnZ, just looked into a dictionary Krebs=crab. Sorry if this is unsuitable. Perhaps -king of crawfishes-?
Regards,

No, wotan, it is pretty appropriate.

Then there is Peter Dan Krebs, with only the one maker mark on Heers and 2nd Lufts, as far as I now.

I have found a variant to this maker mark on an etched bayonet, the crab without the words.

JohnZ

Just a quick Thanks again for showing your Krebs Luft's. I look at them often.
A super collection, all of them.
Still not sure of the one I will be hunting for first. They are all nice.
Hope to make the Ohio show in April to get started.
Thanks again
Ed

John

Have not seen you in many yrs but want to say you always have super stuff and your pics are nice!

You have any frozen juice or what they call glass handles? I always loved those!


PVON

Paul,

No glass handles on any of my Eick Heere.

Good to see you posting here.

Johnz

I have an orange glass handled double engraved Voos pattern mint with General's hangers showed to Paul Hogle I don't think he had seen a glass handle on an engraved before contact me Paul and I will send you pics to post cheers, Ryan

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Carl Julius's stuff.

The trademark on their SA daggers is similar to the Luftwaffe example above.

I have seen 4 CJ Krebs marks on 2nd Lufts:

Double oval large and small
Single oval large and small

The Voos style etched Luft2 sports a large single oval.
