Wow,
They really don't get any better than that. The hand work on that eagle is magnificent.
Superb dagger and great pictures.

Super looking Klaas, what a blade!
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

Wow Tom!! That is a stunner as usual. The hand work and minty blade are just a treat to behold. You said you wanted an early Klaas, you must be happy with this one!! Kevin.
It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......

VERY nice dagger. Interesting to note that one of the scabbard bands is on upside down causing the leaves to go in opposite directions. Sometimes the lower band will loosen up and come off and sometimes someone will put it back on upside down--or perhaps a factory error.

Houston I sure didn’t notice that ! Good news is they are certainly a matching pair. VERY nice dagger.

There is a good possibility it can be corrected if desired. Many of the lower fittings are loose as they were "sweated" on. No solder. Just a little heat or tapping may release it.

this is a verry nice dagger. I´ve the same in my collection. Klaas produced some nice crossguards with handwork. I love it.
