    Default Clemen and Jung Heer Dagger for review

    Gentlemen. I welcome your expert thoughts on this Clemen and Jung Heer Dagger. It has the double stamped blade i.e. the Z in Crown over shield on the obverse with CLEMEN & JUNG SOLINGEN stamped on the reverse. The Pommel and Cross Guard appear to be brass with silver plate and the scabbard throat is secured with a single screw to the top rear. This dagger appears to match the one for sale on Wittys site. I welcome your expert thoughts.

    HHMM, strange mix.. first time I have seen Pack 1st fittings on a C&J heer.. early version is typically seen with WKC initial fittings. The scabbard is a early Eickhorn transitional piece.. all parts highly cleaned (to hide different patinas?) Is the blade tang tapered or shouldered? Best, Kevin.

    I agree with Kevin. I haven't seen this combination of fittings and maker mark eighter. I personally doubt that the dagger left the factory like this...

    Danny, Kevin, thanks for the comments. I don't have the dagger with me at the moment but I think from memory it has a shouldered tank. Regarding the scabbard possibly being an early Eickhorn transitional piece, is this common to C&J daggers? I notice Wittmann has a C&J on his site with this style of scabbard.
    Thanks John.

    I would expect a tapered tang with these fittings IF they have a chance of being original.. Never seen a Eickhorn scabbard with a Pack fitted dagger.. Kevin.

    Thanks Kevin. Can you explain please what you mean by a Pack 1st fittings?

    Kevin is referring to the crossguard. It's a type 1 Pack. Just look here:
    wardaggers.com - German Army Dagger Crossguard Makers Reference
    You can find almost every crossguard there.

    Thanks Danny. All makes sense now.

    Does this therefore prove this dagger is a parts piece, or is there an element of doubt that it could still be a 100% genuine period piece? All the fittings fit together snugly as expected and appear to have been mated for a very long time.
