UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SS Dagger Forum Gottlieb Hammesfahr SS questions

Hello all,

I am on the hunt for my first SS dagger and found a Gottlieb Hammesfahr for sale in my range.

Blade/scabbard all look good. It's advertised as an early but due to shiny scabbard and plated fittings it must be more of a mid.

My only questions of the seller are the "fat" SS runes and eagle. Also the inspection mark "III" is stamped horizontal vs vertical.

Hope I get the photo postings correct so that you can view. I am posting 5 photos and will try to upload an additional 3.

Many thanks, Greg
