I haven't been all sincere here, actually I sold these to my friend LH 600 just a week ago.  BIG regret, but I needed the money for other goodies so......

It seems to me that there is a lot of trading/buying going on in Scandinavia nowadays.  Bismarck, LH 600, Hakan, Nakida, Jesper......and so on.  < Who's next in line......IKEA ?

Hehe..IKEA is just for storage, they have some great cabinets for displaying militaria.
But you are right, the interest for militaria and collecting is growing rapidly over here.

Very nice Pat.  I especially like your LW uniform. Here's some of my stuff. Not IKEA, but quite similar.

Thank you Bismarck and you also have a very nice display of fine artifacts.  I'm especially proud of this Luft uniform, which by the way came from Copenhagen.

Stunning uniform indeed. I see you have a beautiful etched luft 2 framed on the wall, have you posted this one somewhere in here?

Thanks ! I did post some pics of my Voos Luft dagger a while ago, but I cannot find the link. Here are some pics of it. Bought it at the Max 2004 and is simply the best conditioned engraved Luft that I have ever seen. Plated blade and full background frosting. 1.jpg (71.42 KB, 179 downloads)

Thanks Hakan ! Gustavo, the inside label is a bit worn and I cannot really be certain about the name. It is written "Brekl" or "Brakl".

Pat...that's a stone beauty of a etched 2nd Luft Voos!! Regarding the Army "tigers", don't you still have the rarest of the Tigers? I mean rarer than the Big Tiger...the "Golden Tiger"? Now that Tiger is the Rarest of them all...one look will tell ya all why.  Regards to all, -serge-

Thank you Serge ! I do have one Tiger Army but I had to sell my soul in order to get it, but you know what, it was all well worth it. An early minty Damascus blade made by Paul Dinger. The tang is marked with the craftman's initials "P.D" This is the only known example that I have seen so far but I'm certain that there are others, though you can probably count them on one hand. 78.jpg (65.98 KB, 129 downloads)

Pat,
You have a great eye for a quality dagger and your collection is world class. This damascus army and the previous engraved luft would be the highlight of anybody's collection.
Wagners, brass based Tiger is another rarity and I automatically love any heer dagger with a 1st Pack crossguard. Very nice with the addition of the personalisation.

Hi Mikee,
When I bought this dagger two years ago from Jason Burmeister, I asked him what to do to preserve my Damascus blade.
His reply was ............. nothing.
He told me that I should never try to clean damascus with semichrome or any other chemical products.
All I do, is to wipe out the blade with a clean cotton cloth and "voila".
