WKC Quality Luft 2nd Patt

[Stevade]

Hi All ... I just got hold of this WKC Advertising Board and thought it a good opportunity to share my WKC Luft with you all.
As always views appreciated.
Thanks all.

The crispness in the fine detail stands out.
Most impressive is the pebbling on the pommel

Another great example
Looks like you and Kirk have some competition if fine examples !

Thanks Larry.... I do like the WKC examples as I think the quality does show.

Just to add a reference..... The Hanger being marked RZM
Here is a posting I've found on the Internet ..

I’d never encountered the U.E.10 mark and ‘borrowed’ this explanation from Collectors Guild
The embossed RZM logo with a single, opened bottom, circular border and additional markings "U.E" indicates "Uniformeffekten Erlaubnißschein, (Uniform Accessories Licence), and the manufacturer’s numerical code, "10". It appears the combined RZM/U.E., markings were utilized circa May 1933 to March 1935 when the original controlling authority of the SA Quartermaster’s Department was converting into the RZM, Reich Zeug Meisterei, (National Equipment Quartermaster). Manufacturers were assigned a U.E. code numeral until March 1935 when the RZM underwent restructuring and assigned manufacturers contract letters and numerical codes. There was some confusion among manufacturers as to what items fell under RZM/UE control as this example indicates. The Luftwaffe was not under the RZM’s authority. The U.E. code numerals do not correspond to the later RZM codes and no listing of the U.E. codes is known.

Bravo Stevade

Finding a great dagger in excellent condition is satisfaction of the hunt.
Researching and finding out obscure markings ..is a find in itself also and a very good contribution to this thread and the community that studies these hangers and also the RZM.
