Hi Ronnie, very nice early Wingen dagger. I like handmade pommel which show a lot of silvering left, Crossguard is nice E-Pack 1st. type (maybe it is Wingen 1st.?) Early hangers are perfect and hard to find! I like your early Wingen dagger, we do not see it very often. Thanks for showing it!
Regards Peter

Hi Ronnie, congretulations on this find The crossguard is a typical first type Pack which is correct for this maker. The early pommel is correct too. The scabbard is a typical single screw WKC type. By the single screw you can tell it's mid-period. The early WKC scabbards had two side screws. Because of the different production periods it is possible that the scabbard is a later replacement. But with German daggers you can never be sure. In most cases early Wingen army daggers are found with a scabbard with two side screws. I love the grip by the way.

Danny, you have good eye! I did not focus on scabbard, but if I compare to mine early/mid scabbard made by W.K.C. https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/milit...n-dsc02331.jpg - this one is different, and if one screw is missing it can be W.K.C. from early period? Ronnie, but still you have lovely dagger, I also have one early Wingen dagger, but not in condition like yours and not with slant grip.
Regards Peter

Lovely grip, these early daggers are the icing on the cake!
Great addition to your collection M8!
