Very nice gerrit, that pommel looks just like the one on my wingen with the early generic guard and love that voos maker mark.
-
Ger these early Voos are some interesting daggers they come in many variations. I would say this one is fitted with a WKC Type-1 fist I have seen like this that I remember nice variation.
-
Interesting piece, the top half of the hilt ( grip & pommel ) are typical of what you see on Voos transitional mid period armies that came with a variety of different cross-guards. I have a Pack 3rd fitted Voos with the same pommel, ferrule and scabbard.
Not sure I have seen a WKC 1st used on a Voos either although they seem to have used everything else at some point so no reason why not.
I take it the blade is a tapered tang with that maker mark?.
The firm also used Pack 1st's and early fittings and blade, also matched the later type B grip so nothing unusual or anything to worry about this one. A bit like the configuration Heller used, later grips, plated blades etc.
Very nice Ger.

Interesting Voos. As others here have said, I think Voos may have been the master of variations, especialy in the first couple years of Heer production! I think the guard and scabbard are initial production WKC.. but then the Ferrell, grip and pommel speak Pack to me IMO. I have a Pack second I have recently shared here that has this very slender non-slant grip. Neat dagger, and a very popular MM for Voos! Congrats.. Kevin.

Thank you for the kind words and expertise you all contributed
Comparing the 2 crossguards, this one and my WKC 1st Paul Seilheimer i posted last week, i would say its def. a WKC 1st.
The head enhancements are completely different but the basis is a WKC 1st Guard.
The grip on this one is slightly slimmer then others i have and perfectly fits the pommel.
Jon it has a tapered tang.
Gents your thoughts and info are highly appreciated!
Regards,
Ger

What can I say...all the Top Guns already commented ...let me see if I can find a few more Daisies to pick and give you my compliments. As usual A great find that landed on your front step as now I also have a piece of your Front step
A first for me to see the larger Logo Voos Type. Overall the dagger is beautiful. What are the stripes in the blade or is that a background shadow. Best Regards Larry
