Hello guys well it was eventually going to happen in 40 years I purchased a Robert Klaas naval dirk from DG.De historica in Berlin plain blade $1028 Euro I don't usually deal with off shore dealers unless I know them. DG.De historica has favorable reviews posted and a decent reputation. Dirk has major issues.......reworked pommel, reworked handle, reworked scabbard issue after issue apparent in hand as soon as removed from package pictures online only showed two leather washers as "concerning" I emailed Mr. Arthur Muller as soon as dirk arrived. I offered to supply pictures, I detailed all of my concerns... I offered to post images for opinions, send pics to Kai Winkler, Helmut Weitze, Herman Historica, Paul Hogle, Bill Shea etc........ zero reply three days later He has a 14 day return policy which states "tem must be received by them within 14 days" it took 5 weeks to arrive to me even with expedited shipping I won't make 14 days I propsed a partial refund and then a full refund I can email pics for anyone to post suggestions????? cheers and best, Ryan
