"2nd type & 1st type" This makes no sense why would whoever start the saying Type 2 is first made when it is the 2nd number in the sequence, it should by all logical common sense be the 2nd type made. What solid proof is there as to when what type was made, as I understand it the chains were bought from secondary suppliers to the actual dagger makers.
Does anyone have the answer??? thanks michael
Michael you may as well give up
now - logic has nothing to do with it and it's locked into their DNA .............. forever it seems. I tried years ago and
nothing worked. Better yet, ask some of the dedicated dagger collectors about their "anodized" steel scabbards. One "very well known" dealer even has "anodized" German combat bayonets for sale. What next ......... "anodized" German Lugers and Mauser rifles???? And try and looking up "airplane gray" as a type of metal finish. Good luck with that one

PS: Here is a hint - when you don't know just make up something that sounds good, and they will all get in perfect lockstep. A technique which has worked well for many years. Best Regards, Fred
