Hi Ricky, I have not done anything to it. Just waiting for advise and mulling it over. The reason I contemplate it is because I can turn the thing about 1/8 turn back and forth so I dont believe it is glued in some way in place. Also the entire dagger seems completely unmonkeyed with. Seems as if it is seized up a little higher on the threads on the inside. A question I have is what is the inside of the orange grip made of? I know some of the white types are wooden centered. best, Sal
Hi fellows, I have an odd situation here. I recently got a beautiful WKC hammered scabbard KM dagger with orange grip. Really nice set in place portapee so I don't want to remove it. The grip is loose (noticably) yet the pommel is tight. I wanted to unscrew the pommel to see if the threads (and spacing ) might allow one more turn. I found that the pommel will turn perhaps 1/8 of a turn but no more. I don't want to forced it , but why would it turn a little and no more? Corrosion? I thought about putting penetrating oil in the joint between the grip and pommel but I dont want to get it on the portapee and I don't want a reaction with the grip. Any thoughts? Thanks, Sal
Hi Jody, yes al lot of them went to KM, but I believe quite a number went to ground crews, administrative, anything behind the lines. Crews of ships that saw action all got the silver grade. So I can't answer your question precisly but if the KM got the majority of Bronze w/o swords I don't believe it was by any means a lanslide victory
Hi Vincent, no I don't have any other info on him but if you try the reasearch section of the forum those boys are quite amazing and you never know what they might dig up. Also if you post it on the fallschirmjaeger section of WAF they might have more info on him as well. I am interested to see any documents concerning the legion condor if you have more!
Che, it seems to me that you can see where a hinge was. Why do you think these were made without pins? I don't see good evidence for that theory. Best, Sal
