I can never turn down a nice army and find myself drawn to them at shows.
A late Alcoso with veteran presentation on rear.
A mid period WKC with 60% of the lacquer still on the fittings
An early WKC with slant grip and small area's of lacquer on fittings.

All very nice Gary. You can never go wrong with a good condition slant can you and the later Alcoso is interesting given that late dedication!
I really must try and attend one of the big shows one day but suspect I would probably spend too much time looking around. Then find that anything I went back for was already gone & come back disappointed with some consolation piece I would never be really happy with.
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

All three daggers are realy nice. I love the slant grip WKC dagger. It's very hard to find a good slant these days. Congretulations Gary.

Gary: You disappoint me.. I thought you were a Forestry collector  If you start to go crazy on Luft2s, I will be very worried. Good to see all of the gang and the SOS, John
Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.

Thanks guys, just can't resist a decent army, the SOS and the Max shows are the places to go and find them, not much really nice stuff over here, just every now and again a decent example will show up.

Re the high slant WKC.....
Do you know if it is internally numbered?

I try not to take daggers apart unless it is necessary so I do not know if it is numbered internally.
Cheers
