Never thought I'd find another one of these especially not in this condition, probably the best of the four I have, came with the forestry knot, not sure if it is original to the piece or was added, I know it isn't regulation but who knows for sure.

I had a great time at the show and it sure looks like you did too!!!

Very nice n it has the frog also. I'm still looking for a portapee for mine saw one on TW site about 12 yrs ago

Beautiful piece Gary! You scored big time at he Max, I can attest to that! Kevin.

Gary that's a fantastic piece,congrats

Gary, you must have got that one early. Congrats!

Lots of goodies at the MAX.

Great score, Gary.

A wonderful 1711 in extremely admirable condition. Love that frosted silvering/black patinated look.
I think to remember that I do own a "wearing..." photograph in which a DJ daggers is worn with a forest portepee.
Regards,

Thanks guys, I do appreciate all the nice comments.

Wotan, I'd love to see that photograph if you can dig it out.

Cheers

Gary

I now own 1500 to 1700 (I did not count them) "waering.." photographs but if I come across I will show it to you.
Regards,

Even more awesome in the flesh-a superb addition to a wonderful collection. We'll done mate.

Hi John

I may have 4 of these things but that's not enough yet.

Gary

Gary,

What differentiates them? Maker mark?

And poor little me only has one.

John

Hi John
I collect them because I love them and for no other reason, there are some variances with some of the 1711's, the size of the pommel and ferrel do vary and I know of at least 2 different sizes to take into account the size of the grip, there are also two different maker marks known to date

the pommel nut can also vary in shape all during the period, that's about all I have noticed, I've owned 7 of these and I wish I had kept them all.

Never enough of these babies though.

Cheers

Gary

Gary,

I got it...good thing I collect these things by blade variation.

I guess that there should be an over shoulder mark found one since we do see some of the other Eickhorn models with that mark.
