Ger,good job again.
Here is the Pack army from original catalog, and you can see big difference even in scabbard screws.
They don't care about exact details when they printed those catalogs or they print them before start manufacturing.

Thx Ivan, but looking at your Pack picture i see a later typ?
What is striking about this Klaas ad is that it has a slant grip, two sidescrews on the scabbard and sure looks a lot like a lot of the first type crossguards used by a lot of Firms.
In that case its appearance did matter!
Could you please take a good close up of the guard and scabbard throat?
thx,
Ger

I will make some pictures later today.
The Pack catalog is from 1937,so that's explain why is late production .
What year is your KLAAS catalog?
-
Ivan these sheets are a mix and only a few have a date on them, some are realy early 1935-36-37 but also 1939 sheets are there,

Are these images in the catalogues actually photographs or "artists impressions" of what the dagger will look like?
-
Thx Ivan, yes its a later type and funny to see the scabbardband leaves pointing to the right also.
Also indeed not a Pack design!
#Anderson i think although Ivan's Pack shows even shadow, that both are artist impressions, as although the Klaas guard looks a lot like the first type of guard Alcos and Axt & Hauer produced it isnt an exact guard, and hasnt been produced.
There will always be differences in design even when you distribute specifications and prototype pictures.
The casting molds have to be designed and produced and all by different artists-craftsmen.
Regards
Ger
