AR-153 Beauty Unmarked Army  
The unmarked blade is in nice shape with just the lightest age and the odd scuff.. Rates Exc++ with lots of crossgrain remaining. The leather blade buffer is in place. This dagger employs the unique type A generic hilt fittings. These can be see in Tom's Army dagger reference available above on pg 78. There is barely any wear and I must say that 100% of the heavy silver plate is intact! The pommel is matching in patina and wear. These fittings are set off by a trolon colored type C grip. The grip is perfect. The undented silver plated scabbard has well detailed bands with wee acorns hand hammered into the casting seams. Gotta love the details. The plating is excellent, I would say 99%+. The throat is retained by two screws. What I really like here is the factory burnish. Look how the silver is highlighted by the darkening!! Everything matches to a "T". This is an outstanding example you will feel proud to own. Were this maker marked it would be $200 more!  NM

AR-166 Eickhorn Army with rare Stamped trademark

Blade is a polished example with excellent crossgrain, no pitting, sharpening and the original needle-like tip is perfect. The logo is stamped, not etched in place. The stamped logo is difficult to find. An easy Mint-, you will be hard pressed to ever upgrade this blade. Mint-. The brown-leather blade buffer is in place. The second pattern Eickhorn crossguard, (see Wittmann pg 25) retains excellent plating and has patinaed to a dark finish as time and air have done their job. The type C troton grip is perfect. The pommle is too perfect being free of any pitting having aged to a warm blue black matching the crossguard. The scabbard is straight and true with nicely detailed bands.. The throat is fairly thick and is retained by a single reverse screw. Textbook example.

AR-164 Beauty Unmarked, (Höller) Army Rig with Factory Lacquer
If you know what to look for guys you will recognize that this thing has a ton of white/yellow factory lacquer remaining! It's just so rare to find this any more that collectors hardly even recognize it when they look!! The unmarked blade is in nice shape with just the lightest age and the odd scuff. Rates Exc++ with lots of crossgrain remaining. The leather blade buffer is in place. This dagger employs the unique second style Höller crossguard that is, "rarely ever seen", (Tom's words not mine)! This can be see in the Army dagger reference available above on pg 36. There is minor wear and lots if lacquer intact! The pommel is matching in patina, wear and lacquer. These fittings are set off by a perfect trolon multi toned type C grip. The grip is perfect and look how it has darkened more to the crevices than the outside diameters. You gotta love it! The undented scabbard has well detailed bands with hand hammered details covering the casting seams. Finally look at the matching lacquer around the bands. The "Devil's in the details" and this just gets better the longer you look! The throat is retained by a single reverse screw. What I really like here is the way everything matches in color storage, age and patina! Included is an original portepee with some minor frays and completely matching the wear and look of the dagger. Finally I'm selling this with the original deluxe leather tabbed hangers that it came in with. No not perfect but agin matching. I love this dagger! Exc++

AR-165 Pack Army  
Guys seem to really like this large Siegfried Waffen Pack maker mark. A tribute to the Wagnerian hero.This nicely crossgrained blade shows some age with a ton of crossgrain. The tip does show a bit of a wave, (a bend). Some guys know how to straighten this, that, I leave that to you. No sharpening and the original needle-like tip is perfect. The logo is a rare one to find. Rates Exc  The brown-leather blade buffer is intact. The crossguard is a type A generic example which for you guys who like to check me against the textbooks is qute correct, see Witty's bible pg 50. The hilt fittings are dirty and show some wear. I would say 95% of the plating is intact with good burnish. The grip is a type B trolon example with some minor rubs and evidence of wear but no chipping or cracks. The scabbard shows wear and some minor oxidizing yet remains dent free. The throat is retained by a single reverse screw. Exc/Exc+

AR-149 Eickhorn Army with Early double Oval trademark

Love it!, Pick this up and immediately you can feel the weight of the early brass based fittings. Tapered tang blade is a polished example with excellent crossgrain. Just some light age in the form of some stain on the reverse as well as toward the tip. Exc+/Exc++ The logo is the rare early double oval that Eickhorn used in early production. The brown-leather blade buffer is in place. The first pattern Eickhorn crossguard, (see Wittmann reference) retains 100% of it's silver wash with a few small bubbles to the reverse. The grip is a desirable deep orange that is chip and crack free.

AR-152 Unmarked Hörster Army with Galalith Grip  
The unmarked polished blade is in nice shape with no gray or age but does appear to have been cleaned. Rates Exc++ with lots of crossgrain remaining. The leather blade buffer is in place. This dagger employs the unique early Hörster hilt fittings. These can be see in Tom's Army dagger reference available above on pg 43. There is light wear but no damage. The pommel is matching in patina and wear. These fittings are set off by a cream colored type B grip being made from solid galalith which is basically a milk based material some manufacturers tried for a while. The grip is a good example with some cracks towards the ferrell but no chips. The undented plated scabbard has well detailed bands with wee acorns hammered into it. It's dirty and could use a cleaning. The plating is excellent, I would say 99%+. There is some lacquer remaining on the sides. The throat is retained by a single dome head side screw that Hörster employed. This is a very nice example with a rare grip type that most likely was sold through a uniform shop. Exc++

AR-156 Early double oval Eickhorn Army  Blade is NM, there are 2 wee spots about 2" south of the maker mark but that's it! Nothing more to say. The rare early double oval etched maker mark is perfectly executed. The blade is perfectly seated through it's original brown leather washer into an Eickhorn crossguard. All the fittings show their age with some lifting and have aged to a pleasing patina.  Reverse of the crossguard is personalized "FH". Scabbard is an early example with the small beveled scabbard bands that we so often see on these Eickhorns. It is dent and crack free. Scabbard has a single reverse screw. The handle is an excellent study in trolon. Certainly Exc++ $822   AR-159 Max Weyersberg Army Rig Blade is an Exc+/Exc++ example. It's been cleaned along the way and has a few minor spots but good crossgrain remains. The WMW Waffen maker mark is correctly stamped to the reverse. The blade is perfectly seated through it's original black leather washer into a great Type A generic crossguard. All the fittings are in fine shape and have aged to a pleasing black.  Scabbard is a generic mid-period steel example with nicely detailed bands. It is dent and crack free. This configuration is exactly as one would expect it to be. These smaller producers did not cast their own fittings instead, electing to purchase them from generic suppliers or sometimes other makers. The handle is a good chip and crack-free example of later celluloid over plaster. There are a few odd scuffs and honest evidence of period use. Nicely finishing the dagger is an original portepee that shows some minor swing wear and a set of hangers. The hangers likely have been period shortened at the top fitting. Perfect for the guy wanting a complete rig while still being able to purchase groceries!! Overall an easy Exc+/Exc++ $870

Why not complete your dagger with a nice set of hangers?
