For reference sake i'll post a picture here, but i'll let Kirk do his magic with his cam and start a separate post to do this beauty justice!

A Rare and early Puma model. Took many photos for reference on this particular dagger. Believe to be Circa1935 and the first models Puma began to bring forth. Grip is a stunner slant type A in a pumpkin color. Hand engraved pommel leaves and details are just amazing to observe and photograph. Great detail on the scabbard band leaves and the small amazing acorns also hand enhanced and detailed. 2 screws on scabbard throat like the other 3 examples in this thread that Ger and Kevin have brought forth. The adler on the guard is hand tooled ( a so called Höller type 2 guard enhancement). You can see this when comparing the later guard details with no handwork that were casted. Truly unique. As Ger says this one is rarer than hen’s teeth.

Love this one for many reasons as well as the blade being stone cold mint. One that will remain with me for years to come. I am grateful to have this one to add to my collection. I was invited to WRF 10 years ago by Ger. This one is a nice personal addition for me. I am grateful to have it from him with the book he and Danny put together as well. Thanks, Ger, for getting this one into my hands.

Here is my thread to my dagger as well for reference: Puma Early Slant Heer Dagger

Appreciate you helping me find a gem Ger. I did also post my own thread on the piece here for cross reference.
