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.

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

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. Regards, -serge-

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. Regards, -serge- WKC.

I have found two of these Clemen & Jung Land Customs over the years that are in this condition. It would appear that Clemen & Jung was a major supplier of Custom's officials.

It looks very similar to the board of an Army lieutenant, except for the mixture of green in the rope-like strands. There is also a gold pip on one end and a beautifully defined Wehrmacht eagle which is in a gilt surface. This eagle has tremendous definition, and the backgrounds of the feathering are muted with the clutched swastika being bright gold, providing great contrast. This shoulder board is a sewn-in type.

It's out there you just have to keep looking. You can always e-mail a dealer and let him know what your looking for. I usually find a piece or two at a local show. Still need a dagger though.

Thanks Carlos, I'm sure you'll find some nice condition items to go along with your beautiful dagger. Billy, the cabinets were made back in the 70's or 80's. I got several of them from two different collectors who were selling them off. I did find an old addvertisment in one of the cabinets. they were from a company called Vector inc. out of Sturgis, MI. I looked on google but there were over 3 million hits with the name Vector and didn't get past a couple of pages before I gave up. I'll send you the phone number if you want to try it. Here's what they look like from the outside. If they arent in business any more I'm sure a local cabinet maker can make them. If you need the measurements let me know. At the time they were $145 for the 10 drawer unit. What's nice is that the top and bottom are removable so you can stack them on top of each other. MVC-013S.JPG (38.82 KB, 140 downloads)
