Need help I.D. this Dagger - 11/18/2006 07:17 PM
Hello,
I can use help to I.D. this Heer dagger i just aquired, The patina is throwing me off.
It has a glass grip and i know Wittman mentions in his book that these were sometimes put together using parts bought from the larger makers excess stock, i.e special orders. The grip fits the blade tang perfectly but has a chip in the grip as pictured. Also their is a number etched on the crossguard and scabbard throat (6484552). Any help from someone with a more experienced eye would be appreciated.

Eric
