SS Dagger Authentication
Hello, this M33 by Robert Klaas is for sale and I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on it before I finalized my purchase. How does the Robert Klaas/Solingen “Kissing Crane” Manufacturer rank amongst others? I know there are quite a few but I was just curious. Thank you for your time and have a great day!
Hi Jaber...its not that often with SS daggers that one comes along like this one and is not messed with.
This is a typical Robert Klaas SS dagger with all the right details.
I see no issues with it and if the price fits your budget go for it.
As far as ranking with other SS dagger producers ...they are in the same class in excellence and Klaas having its own special details is identifiable among SS dagger collectors.
You are also welcome to wait for more thoughts and opinions ...but I give it a thumbs up
Regards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

I believe Klaas is one of the accepted major manufacturers of early Ss daggers. Not sure how many or where they rank. in my opinion this is a nice early ss district marked for Berlin. All parts including anodized Scabbard are consistent with early manufacturer IMO. Blade looks to show some age with visible crossgrain. I do not see much patina on the crossguards so they may have been cleaned. Grip does show a crack towards lower guard.
I think it's a nice original. I'm sure the experts will be along to help.
