My first dagger

[Salocin]

First dagger, a PUMA. Don’t know much history except that it belonged to a Panzer commander.

It looks like a slant grip to me.
Would like to see more photos.

Well i hope that it doesnt have a Generic A guard.
lets see detailed pics of the guard, pommel, scabbardbands and logo, first need to see if the fittings are correct for a slant grip.
I assume it has a full name or a dedication on the back of the guard or engraved or etched on the blade?
please help us out!

I hope these will help. Still learning what all of the parts are, so let me know if I’ve missed something. As you can see, the grip(?) is a little cracked on both sides.

Also, apologies for the sideways photos. Sometimes they get rotated when posted and I don’t know how to fix them.

Would like to hear more about the Panzer Commander connection...

Well im sorry to say that my fear became reality.
This is a complete partsdagger, so any story that connects this one to a panzer commander is a made up one.

Sorry

Gen A guard never comes with an early slant grip.
It has a wkc scabbard and a gen B pommel.
Put together partsdagger all the way.

Thanks everyone for your input. Unfortunate news, but as I said, I’m no expert on daggers. That being said, I’ll hang on to it for personal reasons even though from a collecting standpoint it’s just a parts piece. Much appreciated!
