This Klaas has been up on the forum before but since I own it now I want to share some pictures anyhow.
What is unusual with this Klaas is the non textbook early WKC Cross Guard that has been on this baby forever smile
Al patina match perfectly all over the dagger as u can see and I really love this baby smile
Thanx Paul for another sweet dagger..

Nakida,

I am glad that you are enjoying the dagger. I think you photographs are much better than mine!
That x guard is the 2nd variant used by WKC and is quite rare. You can see an example in the late additions of Wittmann`s book. I am glad it found a good home! smile

Fellas,

Great shots of those two exceptional Heer daggers! It's easy to see why collecting Armies can become so addictive, especially when they look like this pair ... smile

Best!

OOh some nice ones there.

I also like Army daggers more and more and it is getting harder to find quality as most are now in extended collections. So it is nice when collectors move them around.
