Note that these pictures are Pat's and so was the dagger before it landed in Calgary.

Pat's rejects (this is the second I have received from Pat in the past 6 months) have turned into the best conditioned pieces that I have in my collection.

Merci, Patrice.

Ton ami,
John

Sorry, here is the pic.

Holy Smoke!
That's a Pat reject? Land Customs are very hard to find in excellent condition...not to mention
Near mint! -What a beauty.
-Congrats John! great score!

An excellent buy! I had the chance to admire this piece in Pat's collection many times. Nice to see you adding such quality pieces to your collection John. Congrats

Wow.
Magnifique!!

Now that is a beautiful condition dagger. It is a delight for the eyes ! Thanks for showing it to us !!

Thank you John and I'm happy that you like it.

This dagger was bought from Denny Roach 6 years ago and it is the best one that I've ever seen.
In my humble opinion, it would be nearly impossible to upgrade this beauty.

I'm glad that it now belongs to a friend and that it has found a good home in the Great White North.

Beautiful piece John, I have perhaps not a twin,but certainly a brother!
Paul

WOW! What a beauty congratulations, Pat does have an eye for the best! ~ Ian

...'tho they lack the quality of other daggers, still an attractive piece...
Paul

Congrats a lot John and welcome to the "Landcustom" club
Here is mine Eichhorn LC.

LC daggers in minty condition are very hard to find out there..

Regards Lh 600

Beautiful daggers you are showing in this thread.

John, by far, the nicest one of those I've ever seen.

Thank you, all.

It is beautiful, and best of all, it's an Eickhorn!

John

Yep . . . there's certainly a beauty to them! ~ Ian

All great looking daggers.Another under valued dagger.For some reason these daggers don't catch on with most collectors I bought mine a number of yrs. ago.It was the first post I asked about on this site.It was about the alum. fitting and how they oxides

Thanks Ed Martin.

I think many new collectors starts with a normal Army / SA or KM daggers in the beginning.
When they have collected some year they will find out the rarity of the LC daggers if they are in NM condition.
These daggers dont `pop up everywhere for sales and many of them are not worth the money because of the bad condition.


In the years too come , my opinons are these Land Customs daggers will rise value a lot in the future.

I could sell my LC many times this year.But i know i will never get hands of the same condition Lc again.

Regards LH 600

I must admit that I had never seen so many great LC in one thread.

Their value will certainly do much better than my stock portfolio nowadays.

Very nice.

In an Earlier discussion I posted pictures of mine. So no need to do so again. Mine being the unusual type that does not conform but is genuine.

I have since found out that I am only the second person to own it. The other was the veterans son. It will remain in my drawer for a good few years.....I hope.

These are beauts.

Nice stuff! This is one of thoes daggers that seem to get overlooked by most collectors.

Spock, your L.C. is the earliest and coolest L.C. I've seen.

Nothing wrong with these minty aluminum L.C's.
I have a WKC. But your very early ALL Nickel Weyersberg with a plated blade is in a league of it's own.

It's only the second one I've seen and the quality is unsurpassed to any other maker IMO.

I will second that.....just awesome.

John,

it is beautiful and rare. AND it is Eickhorn!!!

It is a must for your collection!

Congrats.

IMO the Eickhorn version of this dagger is of MUCH nicer quality than the Alcoso. The quality of the daggers castings is by far the best.

I have only collected for about 1 year,so my question is:What prices are we talking about for a Mint all niccel and a alu/w hanger(Eichorn)?

PS.Beautifull daggers u guys have

Anywhere between $ 3500 to $ 4000 USD would be fair.

Thanks Pat for a wery fast answer.That is the price for nickel and alu?

For the aluminum set !

OK.Is the alu more worth? or is th all nickel WAY more expensive?

Carlos,
I'll let Pat answer the price question but I would just like to say the following:
IMO it's not easy to compare a Nickel Customs to an Aluminum one. A nickel example such as Spock's is a scarce find. So scarce that even many years ago the prevelent thought was that a genuine Land Customs would be in Aluminum only and the scabbard fitting accent "lines" would only be on the obverse of the scabbard.
Which companies produced the nickel version, for how long, is still a mystery. But IMO they are scarce and very difficult to find.

Thanks Serge

BUT there is not many collectors of the LC daggers?
IF i wanted to sell again,maybe that could be a problem?

Carlos,
The only problems I have seen when Land Customs daggers were slow moving was either the condition was not good or the sellers were asking too high a price.
Especially when you can get hangers with them it's a solid investment in a great looking and important dagger in which no "Model Type" collection should be without.

WKC.
