Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
Nice rescue Fbeaty!!! and all in great condition! Did you acquire these from a Vet or at a gun and knife show? I like your SA dagger the best although it is in the middle of a rarity scale that maker made and sent their daggers soley to Gau Franken. Which is the "Fr" stands for on the lower crossguard. IMO it is a rare maker. Overall all 3 are in great condition, Thanks for sharing and adding to the collection threadRegards Larry

Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
I got them from a fellow who bought them from a estate sale...not at a gun show. A couple of hundred for the lot. I am always looking
Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
I know thise was ment for German edge weapons only, but I couldn't resist to show the stricking similarity (I mean the lion's head's!!)between thise Belgian police sword, a Dutch army sword and a TR KM sword.
Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
I have a couple daggers but would never consider them the finest of anything.
There condition is pretty poor.

Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
Chopperman your collection is just as fine as the rest regardless of condition. Its the history that matters and the one who takes the time to collect and study makes it a fine collection. JMO. Glad you posted it!! Regards Larry

Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
Hi Stuka,, I think they are a fine example although they are not German as you say but if you can post a couple of photos of similar German swords of the same pattern then this thread would be fine.

Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
Hey Larry,
one sword on my post is German! The last one on the pictures is a WWII Kriegsmarine sword. That was exactly my point! ;-)
But feel free to move or erase if inappropriate
Cheers

Re: Finest Collections from the Finest of collectors
A couple more to add to the thread:
A red cross leaders dagger
A Prussian private purchase "Trench" knife
And a firemans dagger. The hangers are not period, but came with the dagger. An older photo, but shows the dagger ok.
