1st model Railway Dagger by Klaas

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

Here's a textbook 1st model railway for you with all the accoutrements! The blade is a good example! The tip looks great the fit is nice and tight and the crossgrain is stunning! The blade is stamped with the Klaas "kissing cranes" logo that is considered to be the only accepted maker for these rare daggers. There is some minor spotting, peppering and age grey throughout. The blade rates an Exc++. The brown leather buffer pad remains in place. The scabbard is straight and true with nicely detailed bands featuring the distinctive Klaas astrix (*). The throat is fairly thick and is retained by two screws. The generic crossguard is quite correct, (see Wittmann's Army reference pg 99). It retains 100% of it's plating and has patinaed very nicely with age. The ferrule is nicely detailed. The Klass pommel is beautifully detailed with nice burnishing to the backgrounds, along with the acorns and lines to the oak leaves. The patina to the scabbard, crossguard, ferrule and pommel all matches in color. The typical Klaas long grip is a black trylon construction. There are no chips or cracks. Completing this example is an early high quality unfrayed portepee and a set of black felt backed hangers. Johnson alludes to these in his accouterments reference, "Third Reich Edged Weapons Accountements" pg 8. Rarely seen but these most believe are attributed to these early Railway pieces. I know some are nonbelievers in these 1st model Railways, if that's the case best to move on. This piece is a textbook example that would be a great addition to any collection!
