12x magnification loupe for examining recon photos. This is especially fitting in my collection since I have a grouping to an observer who was a recon photographer, and I also have a camera of the type he would have used. The loupe is of exceptional quality, and weighs 11.5 oz, or 330g.
This photo I recently got has a Luftwaffe ace in the shot: Hermann Graf, one of only 27 people to be awarded the Knight's Cross with oaks, swords, and diamonds. He is credited with 212 air victories.
Thanks for your comments, gents. When I first saw this knife, I wondered if the grips had been refinished, since they are very nearly free of dings and scratches. But looking it over carefully, I'm convinced that the knife is all original and in to-die-for condition. Now I just need to find a takedown version, perhaps a little saltier for contrast. Regards, Kevin
Brought my only gravity knife out for a photo shoot. I'd like to find a nice takedown version some day. Only very slight blemishes on this piece, including a small ding on the handle and some light surface scratches on the blade. --Kevin
Here's another slightly different variation: the orienting arrow ends on this one are red, instead of the usual black. Also came with the extension strap. --Kevin
