Santa was on his way to my house on Christmas Eve but got detained by US Customs. He finally arrived today, and he brought my shipment from the HH November 6 Auction. Better late than never.

Merry Christmas all! Christ is born!

Another beauty! Very nice Damascus blade. Do you know who the manufacturer is?

Fantastic! For a Freiherr. Do you know which noble family that crest is for? Sweet Damascus blade.

Very nice! I have one with the same inscription. https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/fancy-iod-89.20583/

The von Dalwig coat-of-arms etched on the blade is great! Fantastic piece.

Fantastic! Love the old-style Braunschweig portepee.

Nice!

Looks like a Kurassier private purchase pallasch. Bavarian schwere reiter officers carried something similar too. Looks good. It's unique.

They look real good under the tree!
