UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SA & NSKK Dagger Forum SA Klaas transitional double marked Mint

Well folks.

here is a nice to Mint quite rare SA made up by Klaas as you can see in the pics. The dagger have a Short hangar.
The blade is Pure mint as new. The rest of the dagger is also very nice. I think i not will find better trans SA by this maker.

I have many early SA into my collection. I have work hard to find a dagger like this. Finally its here

Hope you like it .

Regards LH

Hello LH, I like it...I like it Alot! It would be hard to find one nicer than that. I really like transitionals, I have six, don't have that maker, though. Tell me, did you find it in the U.S. or Europe? Congrats! Leipzig

Hello Leipzig .
Im glad you like it. I have searched long time to find a dagger like this. This dagger i find in Norway. It have been into a Spesial Collection for near 8 years now.
This time i dont have to wait for the tollcustoms and all the delays

If other have the same maker,- please post some pics of it are you kind.

Regards LH

I do so love these Klaas daggers.
Great find

Wow! There must be really interesting collections in Norway. I'm addicted to early makers, but I own 2 transitionals (J.A.Henkels RZM 7/10 & E.Knecht RZM 7/11) and I really like them. Great find

A great dagger you have found,my friend.CONGRATS

LH ... WOW ... how long was I out?! Im doing a standing ovation sir! A transitional, LOOK at those crossguards?! NICE! No lifties or bubblies? AT ALL?! Gosh ... I remember a discussion on dealerrating/wordusage-variation? But, reckon this gets "stonemint" from everyone!

Cheering,
Karin-Renate

LH:

This does not at all fit with your great collection of early SAs... I think that you should immediately pack it away and send it to one of your friends in Canada before it affects all the other true maker marked daggers

Simply incredible and congratulations.

John

Very nice transitional in great condition.

These transitionals don't usually get the respect they deserve. Some early transtional examples have most, and in a few cases, all nickel parts !
Next week I'll post such a transitional so all can see.


A wonderful minty example of a Klass Transitional. Look at the hanger! Congrats LH !

Hello all of you.
Thanks for great reply

Hi Serge...i look forward to have a look on your full nikkel Trans SA
Regards LH

Here is some new pics taken with Canon G 11 my new Camera.

Look at that blade man
Also macro shot of the hangar marking and Grip Eagle.

Blade and makers Mark.

Hey LH 600 love the photos and the camera makes all the difference,, especially the macro mode. A steady hand brings a great and not so great crossgrained dagger to life!! Nice photos. My new camera is a Nikon coolpix L110. I love the end result. Best Larry

I know this photo does not belong on this thread but for camera purposes, I just wanted to show what a good Digital camera can do. To look at my SS 120/34, in hand,,and finding the right angle to twist it,,, the crossgrain is not as prominent as some that are easily seen. Unfortunately Most SS daggers are rare to find with great crossgrain compared to The SA daggers which are more commomly seen with noticeable crossgraining,, IMO.
So yes compared to my last camera which was a video camera with a photo option, did not really bring to life ,, to my expectations good photos of my collection. Canon is a great camera and as usual LH600 your photos are great. Larry

from my collection to a collection in norway to your collection, it is a special piece unreal condition

Hello Roy Dagger.
Your a new member. Explain more are you kind ?

Actually I had about 3,000 posts until they all got deleted, I actually owned that sa dagger a few years back i sold it to a friend from Norway ad he evidently sold it to you, it is a fantastic specimen i wish i never sold it

Roy, Such is life in the decisions we make, I had a few that I still kick myself for letting go also.
Even though you say you had "3000" posts Im sure if you sent a PM to Vern he can restore your standing from the system change. You should still at least carry a rank symbol,, but I dont see that.
It is quite a nice dagger,,,both the motto and the RZM number are nice and dark. Best regards Larry

Really nice piece. The Transitionals are my favorite - personally i have 8 in my stock but not the kissing cranes:( Love your piece! nice find and indeed a regretable one Roy:)

Will post some pictures for reference ...not of Klaas though.

On a separate note - what camera do you use LH?

Here comes K&M, Wusthoff, Knecht (mint), Hoeller and Eick..

Hello Roy.
I speak with pre owner today Did you give him a spesial thing in Silver on trip back to Norway ? Do you remember it ? He still have that thing you give him.

Like you say Roydagger. Its a stuning piece of a SA.
Why are your post deleted ? Cant the moderator team fix this problem out ? All we write here on the forum is a highly valuable info for the future.

Regards LH

Hi Overlord.
Thanks you for the response in the tread and nice pictures of Trans SA daggers. I like the K&M Im searching after that type in good condtiton. Also the SA with RZM 7/29 im looking after. Do you have that one ?

Camera . I use the Canon G 11. It have a ring in front to for big linces if you want . Im happy with it

Regards Jarle

Hello LH and Overlord! I agree, the K&M maker-mark is one of my favorites! The arm and spear is so unique, as well as the "Gothic" style numbers and letters. Here is one I've had for about 3 years, near-mint is every aspect. Hope you like! Regards, Leipzig

Very very nice dagger of the K&M Leipzig
Thanks for the pics of it . You know where to send a PM in future if you dont need it any longer

Regards LH

The Gothic numbers add a nice touch. LH600 I will race you to it!! Larry

If you study this site you can find a Klaas Rzm trans for sales

Hey LH,

What do you mean by "It have a ring in front to for big linces if you want".

I am seeking a good camera for closeup pictures "MAKRO MODE" - do you mean you use some additional lences?

Yes on the Canon G 11 you can add extra linces. But i dont need it. its good enough for me

I'm sorry LH...I was digging around and the nickel transitional may have gone to one of my dagger friends or I can't find it. But I did run into a couple I forgot about. The Grafrath come in a close second. Super quality.
Stick-man Henckels are OK too.




-serge-

Very choice Serge!!! Love the Henkels dagger. I am more curious to see the one you can not find,, which to me I know where all my children are,, nonetheless all of us would still like to see it. Larry

A very mint wingen transitional with the tag,

another closeup

Very nice Roydagger. That SA is a beauty too

I dont really like the "tag" on my knifes. But its very collecteble if you like it .

Thanks for sharing pics of it.

Have a nice Weekend.

LH

Hello Roydagger, that's an outstanding un-issued Wingen transitional! I have one also, but not tagged, and not that nice. I love the tagged RZM's, have two, one by Klaas[NSKK] and one by Shuttlehoffer[S/A]. Regards, Leipzig

Got the G11 so hopefully will be posting better quality pics from now on.

Now you have to show us some good pics man

Eichorn squirel from my newly purchased Teno Hewer.
Still mastering macro mode:)

Precious your Dagger SA, Robert Klaas is one of my favorite manufacturers LH 600 and also yours is in an excellent state of preservation, congratulations for your excellent piece ...
