Here is my early Hammesfahr. Untouched with nice dull patina on the crossguards and some of the "green stuff" on the scabbard fittings. Original hanger that has never been off the piece, and the dagger has never been taken apart. Un-messed with for 60+ years. I really like the blade on this piece, nicest SS blade I have ever owned.

If the rest of it is as nice as the blade...that is a sweetheart!!!
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. And remember the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Thanks guys. The rest of the dagger is nice, but it is the blade that really gets me. 100% cross grain from cross guard to tip, with no greying. It has the runes button turned slightly, which I have seen on a few other early Hammesfahrs also. Grip fits very nice, and the only minor annoyance is that there is some wear to the grip eagle. It is not bad, but the detail is not all there. Seems like it was rubbed quite a bit in wear.

Next to a minty SA blade for comparison. Sneaking an SA on to the SS forum.... Sadly the only 2 real minty blades I own (except for a sword).

Beautiful pieces ! Don't feel sad, feel fortunet as prices on both SA's and SS's in this condition will place them beyond the reach of many.
Thanks for shareing !
