Hopefully this map will will help...

4 questions were asked on separate threads.

Nrh = Niederrhein (Lower Rhein)

I don't know of Br, is it possible that it's Fr? If so, Fr = Franken

Depends what condition it's in and the maker becomes important for a lot of collectors.

You can find them on eBay.

It's not always advisable to clean a dagger. Preserving it is fine. It's best that you show some photos so we can give you opinions.

Hi Mike, I don't know the answer about Herder's. The eagle looks good to me too, the only reason I mentioned it as a suggestion is because when you look at the photo, the eagle's wing on the right, (or the eagle's left wing), looks like there's a bit of a gap with the wood, (grip) but the rest of it looks like it is original.

I wish we had more information on these daggers!

Thanks Mike, your eagle is definitely different to both of mine.

Do you think there's a chance that yours could have been replaced at some stage? (Just throwing ideas around). Best, Scott

Mike K... any chance of a close up picture of the eagle on your dagger?

Wittmann has an interesting one for sale... priced at $795.00

Sorry guys... the system won't let me post anymore photos.... ?

Here's some additional photos. Since having a hands on inspection, I think it's a repro. It doesn't look, feel or smell anything like the original one I previously had. The stitching doesn't seem to be up to the same standard either.

However... if anyone has other opinions, please let me know.

Interesting link, although not that much information:

Hi Dan, yeah, it's just the name that's been ground. Cheers, Scott
