Early Christianswerk army with unusual crossguard

[dr73]

I would like to show you my early slant gripped Christianswerk army dagger. Normally we see this maker with a Pack type 1 crossguard. Mine has a crossguard that has the characteristics of Klaas with the big punched eye. The hand enhancement of the feathers is great. The blade has the typical dull finish that all blades by this maker seem to have. Enjoy the pictures.

Also very interesting is that I found one other dagger by this maker with exactly the same crossguard (this one is not mine, so no better pictures available ).

Interesting Dr! Those are Klaas 2nd fittings.. Maybe Christians used these in between the Pack 1st and Gen B fittings? First time I have seen this configuration.. Kevin.

Seen these dagger pics already, but its a pleasure seeing them again, those Klaas fittings are great.
First time for me to see a second one with the exact same fittings, i love that!
And my Christiaans slant had that same dull blade as all the others ive seen sofar.
Thx for showing Danny,

Ger
