UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum Back to basic fact based research.

Above post is a prime example of disinformation. The poster when making these types of comments should be saying this: (In my limited experiences ) or (from my limited archive) and ( from what I can find on the internet) Or at the very least NOT KNOWN TO ME!
While it is good to see your posting regularity you must keep to the facts or at least say (from what I know)

You seem to mention Carters book in your posts. You do understand the book is very much incomplete? You do understand it needed to updating before it was printed? If you need this to be confirmed by someone besides me please e-mail the person you name drop all the time as he will confirm this. As for the people you name drop all of the time ask them if they have come to me for research help.
The Carter book is a must have but does need updating and Henning (name droppng) is very much aware of this..
Facts: Not a uneducated opinion..
The Eickhorn triple ( stamped ) trademark was used as early as 1929.
The Eickhorn triple oval trademark is found in period publication advertisements and catalogs from the 1930s (if you have not found them your research sources need to expand)
My sources are: period Solingen trade magazines , factory invoices, correspondence, documents and period printed catalogs.
Please list your sources for this comment Quoted below.. The part about ( and is not known to be shown in catalogs or advertisements.)

Damast,

you are correct that I should have posted "the Carl Eickhorn triple oval mark is known to be found on Eickhorn weapons and is NOT KNOWN TO ME to be shown in catalogs or advertisements." (I did give you a LIKE for that comment).

And I am aware that the person in Solingen is working on new information all the time. And I am aware that you are THE MAN with the LARGE collection of period catalogs.

I can barely afford the things I have been buying on eBay and would like to find an old catalog from Carl Eickhorn but I do not want any more of the export catalogs (hint).

I am not the only person who drops names as Thomas T. Wittmann has dropped your name on his WAM site.

I also have great respect for you as a collector with much knowledge and also because you are my elder, born 2 years, 3 months and 11 days before me (source, Ancestry.com).

Please feel free to correct me in the future as you are now my mentor for period catalog reference. All kidding aside I really do like ALL your period catalogs that you have posted images of on GDC.

Yes, the internet has helped greatly in the field of genealogy..

Damast,

I sent the wonderful image of the Eduard Urban (crossed fish) trademark you posted as my "Halloween treat" on my thread: "1930's Nazi German hunting knife, D (Swaz.) B F " to our friend in Solingen; Henning Ritter.

I also dropped your name as the person who posted the image and told Henning you wanted to say "Hello".

Herr Henning Ritter mentioned your remarkable knowledge and said: "He surely is the most experienced individual that I know from. We have met several times in Solingen."

Henning has sent a message to me for Damast on 10 Nov. 2024:

"Please say hello to him from my end, too! It is a really small world of this ‚special project‘ community!

Regards
Henning"
