2nd patt luft dagger wire query

Andy, That is a very unique Tiger! The hilt fittings appear to be Eickhorn made pieces. The scabbard is a earlier Pack variety that was used by many makers. That wood core grip places the dagger in war times, 39' to 41' perhaps, that fits the small Tiger MM. Very cool dag! Here is a grip close up on mine. The wire seems finer (thin that is) than yours.

Hi Kevin,
That's a lot of great info mate. I see that your wire is either finer or more tightly wrapped than mine. When I bought this dagger, I had questioned the wire with the dealer and he was going to take it back in exchange for one with regular wire. Luckily, I took a chance on it simply because I liked the look of it. It would be great to see photos of any other dagger with this configuration. To date, I have only seen mine and yours!!! Thanks Kevin.

Cheers
Andy
