Bob Rodgers Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 hello All,I have been hoping that the members here would display what they have in German daggers.Denny and I have great collections, but this forum isn't about what we have.We both would like for this section to become more active.What can we do to help this along?There is allot of room on the net for more than one dagger section.
Hauptmann Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Hi all,Okay... guess I'll start this off even though they're posted in other threads... so hoping this is okay.First off my Kreigsmarine dagger. Got this from John Angolia ages ago. One of my prize pieces. Absolutely love the navies and think they're some of the nicest of the German daggers of whatever period.[attachmentid=46154][attachmentid=46155][attachmentid=46156]
Hauptmann Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 [attachmentid=46160]This is my Heer dagger. Not in terrific shape but was a war trophy brought home by my Uncle Jack so to me it's priceless.[attachmentid=46161][attachmentid=46162]

Hauptmann Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 [attachmentid=46180][attachmentid=46181]Thanks for looking, Dan
Bob Rodgers Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 Nice daggers hanks for posting them.I'm one of the collectors who prefer to see a dagger look like it's been used.There are too many so called mint daggers out there today.
Stogieman Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Nice stuff Dan. Having a relative bring them home... even better. I would agree with Mr. Rodgers, some age showing is a good thing, but I would be concerned about what looks like active oxidation on the blades of a couple of these. Thanks for showing them.
Hauptmann Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks guys! And Rick, totally agree... I need to do a bit of cleanup and oiling on a couple of them. Hoping to get to that in the next day or two.And definitely treasure the ones that my Uncle brought back. They're plain Jane but I'd never sell or trade them for anything. Definitely going to be passed down in the family. Thanks again for the compliments and comments. Dan
Fritz Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Hauptman, Nice daggers! Is the navy a holler? Looks like it and the SMF SA dagger is a good maker. Fritz
Hauptmann Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Hauptman, Nice daggers! Is the navy a holler? Looks like it and the SMF SA dagger is a good maker. FritzHi Fritz,Many thanks for your kind words. Yes, the navy is indeed a Holler. I've always felt the German naval daggers, regardless of the era, were some of the nicest daggers they produced. I especially love the engraved blades! Thanks again! Dan
Fritz Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 [attachmentid=47576]Hauptman, your very welcome! Here is a couple pics of my navy by Puma. Hope you like it. Fritz
