UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum Anyone with a rare NSFK/DLV

Oh Yes! You bet that is a rare maker. Very Nice example to boot. All early nickel silver. Hard to find. Thanks for sharing Herman. -wagner-

NICE piece Herr mann!!!
If you can think of parting with it... let me know!
NICE dagger!!!

Wagner, Johnny,

Thank you for the compliments.

Here is one more, as you did not mention it with the common makers, why not show it...

Best greetings,

Herman

Wonderful! Very early Eickhorn with the "smooth tail" and C.E. logo. Love it Hermann. Keep em coming. -wagner-

Wow, that is one sweet early Eich!!!
Weren't there 2 different Eich. logos used on these daggers?

Here's one for you Johnny. Don't know much about it. Thought you would want to see it. -wagner-

Wow!
Now that is interesting!
Where did you find that one?

Johnny. From an older collector who was going through a divorce. He bought most of this collection from TW in the old days. He still has a few pieces left, if your interested. But I want the full rig mint SA, OK? -wagner-

Sounds like a deal to me.
If he is selling this piece, let me know.

Johnny V:

I have a slightly unusual Krebs DLV that I can bring to the SOS. It has a number of non-textbook features including no throat marking and an RZM hanger. I am not sure that it is real or Memorex.

Where will you be holding the viewings?

John

Johnny, I already got this one. He doesn't have anymore DLV's or NSFK's. Some SA's, a NSKK or 2.
1st and 2'nd Lufts. Army. And a couple of more that I can't recall now. He doesn't advertise. If it's not your thing, I can turn the deal over to one of the other boys here since I know your into the DLV type. Prices are very fair. I'm just not into buying and then reselling. Just trying to help out a younger collector. -wagner-

Wagner- I sent you a PM.

JohnZ.- I would be very interseted to see your DLV by Krebs. Mine is also non-standard and it would be good to get them together.
I was planning on stopping by Whittmann's table and discussing the pieces with him since he expressed an intrest in these non-standard types. I will probably do this sometime in the late afternoon on Thurs.
If GDC members were particularly interested I could also bring them to Graigs party for all to see.

Here is one I picked up about 15 years ago

Blade has no TM, the crossguard has no markings, stamps or any other ID.

OK, you guys are KILLING me!!!!
Those are some sweet looking demast knives guys!!!

That is a exceptionally nice example Manfred. I think Johnny's going to go into "Hyper Drive" -wagner-

JohnZ-Any chance that you could post a few pics of your Krebs???

I did not know that these were produced in Demast. They are probably as rare as the Demast RAD and RLB leaders.
Congrats guys!!!

Johnny V:

I don't have the DLV in hand now and will not be back home until the 15th of February. (I gave the DLV to Paul Hogle to look at and make me an offer.. he may have some pictures of it at this time.) I will post some pictures then, but I will bring to the SOS and look for you at Wittman's table on Thursday or at Craig's party.

Like I said, I am using Paul's pictures of my dagger with his permission. I asked him to take a look at it and make me an offer. He did and it was way too low ;> I am bringing it with me to the SOS, where maybe I can do better, I'm hoping.

John

John- Sweet dagger, I will compare it to mine when I get home. Off hand though it looks like yours has the makers mark further down the blade. Nice RARE maker though!
As for Pauls low offer, that's why we love him!He may biy low, but he also selld lower tham most major dealers as well.
PS- I sent you a PM.

I think that it is very interesting to note that the Krebs maker mark on John's dagger is much further down the blade than the same maker mark in Ilya's posession.
I believe that mine is closer to the crossguard like Ilya's....

Here is my Krebs DLV. Like the one recently sold by Wittman it has no "K" in the crossguards and dome head screws instead of the usual flatheads. The makersmark is on the correct place: close to the crossguards.

Best greetigs,

Herman

Herr Mann,
Congratualtions on a fantastic piece!
You are correct about the similarities between your and mine (from Whittmann).
I have also noticed a few other differences in the Krebs pieces that I was hoping you could confirm for me in your example.
1) The non "K" marker crossguard has slightly "thinner" quillions when viewed on end, then standard crossguards.
2) The blades on these Krebs pieces are slightly longer an wider than other makers.
3) The swaz. on the corssguard is slightly thicker or more bold than that of other makers.

There are MANY other differences with this maker which I can see from the pics. that you posted. Thanks!

Hello Johnny,

1) yes, absolutely!
2) longer: yes, wider: not really, maybe less than 1 mm?
3) yes, clearly!

Best greetings,

Herman

Awesome, thanks for the input Herr Mann!

Hello Johnny,

Can you post some more pictures of your DLV by Krebs?

Best greetings,

Herman
