Re: Need some opinions on this Heer Dagger...
Hi Darren, looks "OK". You have already outlined the problems with it.
Personally, due to the blade and loose hanger band fitting, I would pass.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Need some opinions on this Heer Dagger...
Hi Ade. Thanks for the feedback. Ordinarily I'd agree regarding passing. Too many issues that outweigh the overall condition of the metal. That being said, with a price tag of $150, including the capture papers, it's hard to pass on it. Might make a good display piece if nothing else.
I'd like to hear from some people who have repaired scabbard hanger band fittings. How did you go about it; what worked best for you?

Re: Need some opinions on this Heer Dagger...
To be honest i think the band can only be fixed in place with a superglue now, im not 100% sure but i think the band was originally heat applied

Re: Need some opinions on this Heer Dagger...
Hi davejb. That is my assumption as well; superglue. As much as I'd like to use the original process to reattach it, I think superglue is probably the best option with the least amount of risk. If done carefully, there'll probably be no noticeable repair.
