As a run up to MAX, I had thought to post a list of early maker-marked by rarity as I did here 10-15 years ago. Nothing scientific, just my thoughts after looking at web sites, forums, etc.

What I found was that there are very few daggers in top condition and they are:

Eickhorn small double oval ( ground Rohm)
Boker (second TM)
Hammesfahr
KLass (Large TM)

Their prices are pretty stiff.

The other one that used to be common, RA Herder, is much harder to find.

All the rest are seldom seen and expensive. I used to able to rate them but so few are around that it is impossible now.

Strangely enough, Himmler and Eickhorn Full Rohm inscriptions seen more often than years ago.

Anybody see the market differently?
