To clarify a small point:
The lack of a Roman numeral is NOT a sign that a dagger is an M36.
Not all M33 daggers have Roman numerals. No one knows the reason. I have observed that the rarer makers seldom have the numerals, but I have owned 3 Klass daggers without and a Hammesfahr with no Roman Numerals
Yes, that is also true.
Sch�ttelh�fer, Gembruch, 121's are indeed without Roman numbers. Because they started producing SS daggers after this numbering period. Still early enough to use nickel parts.
On the other hand we also see type C's with full nickel guards and plated scabbardfittings.
Curious though if this dagger indeed is a early makermarked piece.
So lets wait for the pictures.
Btw Dave... what is a 'Klass' dagger?
I presume you mean 'Klaas'?
