I would like to share with you my first purchase of the year. I've bought a rare slant big Tiger marked early army dagger with tapered tang from an auction house in Europe. I was very happy with it until it had arrived. When I opened the parcel I noticed that the pommel is missing... I contacted the seller but he/she informed me they can not find it anywhere. So I am afraid I have to send it back and ask for a refund. Not a very lucky start of the year... Almost forgot to say: the pommel is marked "26" on the top - see photos. Hope you enjoy - I'm not really.

How could they send you a dagger which was obviously missing the pommel? Looks like a very interesting dagger with a lot of character, I'd hate to have to send it back too!

Wow Janos.. looks like a dark beauty with a killer grip!! Do you have any of the original auction pics with the pommel? That is a heart breaker!! Kevin.
It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......

That is a damn shame you have to send it back, it's a really nice army with a fantastic grip.

Oh My....janos sorry about that terrible situation. At least they are willing to take it back. I have seen the stamped numbers on grips before seems especially on the WKC product.

Thanks guys, I feel the same... I hate to send it back. I have a slant Tiger with PACK xguard, I had one with the initial WKC guard, with normal (non-slant) grip. http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=17526&page=1http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthread...true#Post154410And now I have found finally one with WKC guard AND slant grip - and the pommel has disappeared in the auction house... I am still hoping. Tom, I agree, I had an initial production WKC dagger, numbered same style on the grip. For me it is a typical WKC "sign" too.

This story is a tragedy.
I would make the auction team search from top to bottom for that pommel before you return such a great dagger. Did the original catalog photos not show it with a pommel?
