UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Welcome - New Collectors Start Here Literature on Dress Dagger Manufacturing

Hi there
I'm actually rejoing as my membership seems to have lapsed. I was not very active due to well life really :-D
I need to find some literature covering the manufacture of German Dress Daggers. Not just makers marks or spotting fakes but the nitty gritty of the process hopefully illustrated with photos of the factory interiors etc. if anyone can point out the best still in print or that might be available used?
Best Wishes

Welcome back, Eddie,

I don't know of books dedicated to factories.

Various books dedicated to the daggers themselves sometimes have a shot or two now and then, but no with much explanation of the process.

Has some text and pictures related to your request.

GDC forum has some topics on period tool catalogs.

Somewhere I have seen images of factory work stations. Have not located them. Anyone recall them?

Some factory photos in the Johnson Reference series. Would have to check for which volumes have them.

Possibly Fisher's reference book. It is of course not of very good quality as it was printed independently. But the latest edition in 9 volumes includes many original documents of that period including from some factories.

Thanks guys
Appreciate your answers greatly. Ive also contacted Wittmanns about it. Thats great Joe. Very much what Im looking for. I also did see some interior factory pix many years ago and downloaded them but that computer was lost in floods and now I cannot recall the source :-(
Also this info would Im guessing be quite difficult to access due to security issues at he time.

From (fuzzy) memory I recall period images of multiple stationed German industry work benches. with tools. Still searching. Can not recall where I saw the images.

Tom Johnson Vol II has several shots of workers and work stations at the Eickhorn factory.

Vol. II is one I never purchased. I wonder if the images were posted online?
As I recall - at least one image I saw online somewhere, was of a multiple stationed contour shaped bench with some mounted tools) ( possibly drills and clamps)?
