Can anyone tell me if they think that these two are pukka and, if so, what sort of price should they be? I've been offered them both by a collector who is getting rid of his stuff. Can't say who the makers are as I forgot to ask.








If you want to criticise someone first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when they come after you, you'll be a mile ahead and they'll be barefoot.

Terry,

The 1st Bahnschutz looks cobbled together, especially the ferrule which has a finish that doesn't seem consistent with the other parts. Is that some sort of plastic covered wire wrap on the celluloid grip?

I'll let the others comment on the Landzoll except to say I like the fact the scabbard fittings don't have the lines going all the way around.

Grip looks long on 1st R.R. I'm counting 11 grip serations if that's the proper word

Here are some more pics. What do you think it's worth in this condition?

Will that be a good thing or a bad thing?

The shell is magnetic but there is no maker's mark on the blade.
