Stone mint Horster HOD

[gerrit]

This one just dropped on my doorstep together with a Ironhead SMF Slant
Its in mint condition and it has the typical lacquer/frosting on it that gives the dagger a somewhat Golden appearance
Enjoy this textbook beauty!

I wish a beauty like that would just "drop on my doorstep"

This looks familiar. Did I see this for sale on the WAF? I saw one with this same white looking material on it, but wasn't sure what all that white stuff was...

This one came from a German auction site.
The seller also sells on the Waf but not this one.
The last Horster with alu hardware also mint came from the same seller.
They look like twins

Interesting. So, when I see this white look on parts of these daggers, what is that on them? I saw one very much like this and it sold very cheap. I was afraid to get it though because the white areas didn't look right. Otherwise, it was a nice dagger.

Congrats on another beauty Ger!
In this case it is the frosting or silvering that appears white. Raw aluminum wouldn't look very dressy. Even if it were polished aluminum, it wouldn't stay shiny very long.

Thanks Ralph. Now I know what I'm seeing on those and won't think someone painted them white at some time. It's a stark contrast that throws you off.

This frosting/ lacquer ist what i love on these Horsters!!
The more there is left the better, that means its saved most of its Original appearance!
This one is a pleasure to hold and look at! the blade and fittings are mint!

What can I say, all that this one needs is a Hörster tag! A truly mint dagger! Congratulations my friend
