Hello to all: new here, I'd read the Nick's thread about army dagger database and decide to put my two cents on it: A C. Gustav Spitzer, I liked it very much, it's a pity but the blade has been polished, you can see on the logo surface. Cheers!

Ok gents Test time!!! Here is another thread with no replies,, what are everyones thoughts on Heer Dagger.

I'll have a go.
It looks to have the early type Spitzer logo and a very nice (and rare?) Pack type aluminium crossguard, but the pommel appears not to be made of the same alloy, is this unusual? Could it be a parts dagger or otherwise tampered with or did they come like this??

A little worn for my taste, but I like it. I'm guessing that
the crossguard has been replaced to Re-Nazify
this dagger.........

Its a parts dagger, blade is attached later, so is the pommel , hahaha

Hai to all:
Recently I have aquired an Army dagger and need a 2nd opinion about it, the grip is made of plastic material, no mark on blade. Sorry about photo quality.
TIA

LOL!! Well #1..its good to see that everyone is on top of the game,,and its refreshing to know also that memory has served well as this is a 5 yr old post from the WAF. Good memory.
I have the same feelings as this is a parts dagger but I am reserved on the pommel not being authentic. Could be the photos or flash used. Regardless, I feel this is more of a put together,,recently. JMO.
And Gerrit....No you dont get candy...you get beer here ...sorry! Regards Larry

Hi to all here! Gerrit is right about the first post, When I bought it (on the net) the photos provided by the seller doesn't show the maker mark because is so erased that I can't notice it, when the dagger ariives I discover the mark and makes new photos of it. Of course I didn't change nothing in it, is in the same condicition that when arrived home.
best regards
