I continue to be bit by the gunong bug. Two new ones. I'll snap some better photos of these two when I have better light.

The Farthest on the left. Post WWII (?), MOP handle, and my first with good filigree work, and a sandwich guard.

3rd in from the left, with no scabbard. An older one. Brass fittings.

Have fun,
Leif

Oh!
Make that three since the last group photo.

Second from the right, one of Lew's old ones. Aluminum fittings, post WWII.

Thanks,
Leif

Hello Leif,

have seen all three before somewhere else ( ) and get outbid ( ) by the one without scabbard. And when I am not would have been short by money the one with MOP handle would rest now in my collection! Would like to see more pictures from this one.
Nice to see that they in good hands.

Regards,
Detlef

Nice group photo, I will have to get mine out for a family portrait too! The third from the left is the standout example (in my opinion), the fourth from the left is rather nice too.

Congratulations, you a building quite a good collection.

Thank you all for your kind words on my small collection.

Ah, you're a fan of the old ones I see. The fourth from the right was previously posted here.

And comparing the last photo in that tread, I really need to polish the copper on that one :-P

"Addiction" is certainly a word my fiance has used before. fortunately she's very tolerant.

I consider this high praise coming from you! I can't count the number of times I've drooled looking at pictures of your collection!

Ask and you shall receive!

[Rafngard]

And a few more...

Also, in looking at these close ups, I wonder if the ferrule is covered in gold foil, and the outer scabbard is perhaps bronze?


Thanks,
Leif

Hello Leif,

thank you for both! I think that the fittings are either gold plated or washed, they look like this.
