So the question remains! What makes you want to buy dagger? Is it color,maker,rarity,minty, etc!
Its fun to discuss the reasons and gives us collectors a chance to have some fun on German daggers!
I encourage collectors to share thoughts and pics!
Yes I know many have shown before!
But to the oldtimers! Many have not seen your goodies! Enjoyed your discussion on daggers and your thoughts you may share!
I just like seeing stuff and maybe learn someting!
You might persuade someone to collect something they didn't know they liked!
You get to see your stuff any time you want!
You might think everyone knows everything about types or etches,named,maker etc!
I can assure you thats not the case!
I like white stuff that displays well!
White is nice!

Lets see how you do it!

The first photo is a section of a yellow grip showing the color of the original material. It's from a thread we had years ago discussing grip color when the dagger was assembled and sold

That's a great looking example, I presume the blade is Voos marked? I don't think I've seen an etched Army with ivory grip that was unmarked before.

I just revisited this older topic. Fantastic items are shown.
Is there a link to a thread that discusses the (Glass-like)/(Artificial amber), grips? Wondering what there composition is.
Appreciated, --dj--Joe

Hello derjager, there is at least one thread https://forum.germandaggers.com/ubb...p;Words=amber&Search=true#Post349427 and as far as I know and can remember the composition (of at least one kind, there are several kind of "glass" - artificial amber grips) is from phenolic resin. Regards,

Wotan, thank you for the link and the information.
When I think of amber My mind sees the smoky yellow ranges. I know there are darker orange to red ranges too.
Are the "glass" type grips a solid through color?

Hello derjager, the artificial amber grips, the socalled glass grips, are like the nickname says, translucent. I know that it is not very easy to judge if an opac grip (which sometimes are also called artificial amber grips) falls into the category artificial amber. But as said, for me the classic artificial amber grips are the translucent "glass grips". You can observe that sometimes in these grips there are added (during the manufacturing process) some kinds of somehow glittering lamellas or something equal looking material which should resemble any dust or very small items covered in (real) amber. Such material also can be found in a certain kind of grip with nearly opac material (therefore seen only on the surface) so this shows me that these can also be counted to the "artificial amber" grips. To my best knowledge, all artificial amber grips are in the middle orange tone range, not those darker ones.
I hope I could describe it correct and understandable.
Regards,
wotan, gd.c-b#105

Wotan, very concise and understandable.
With the ability to purchase and add these grips, I wonder about Heer daggers and the white factory grip theory. (?) Not a set-in-stone regulation?

Hello derjager, this is about what I thought, when the "white grip theory" started. My opinion alsways has been that there have been produced absolutely "intended" yellow grips. I think to remember having seen a color film of Eva Braun´s father wherin he wore an army officers uniform with dagger and so far I could see it´s grip was yellow toned. I also always have thought that the germans would have been tough enough to know how these mass "white" grips would tone after a short time, after light. For me the "white grip theory2 never did exist in real. Regards,
