A Pontus Holmberg Eskilstuna for comment

Thank you Leif,

I had no. 38 as a closed match in mind also.

I have received it, very nice knife in the hand and still very sharp. Some nicks in the edge, a little bit play in the handle and visible wear, otherwise very good condition.

Found a collection of these knives online with further descriptions. There is also one like mine. https://theoutcastrogue.tumblr.com/p...lstuna-daggers

Now I know why I can't find a match in the catalog posted by Leif, the catalog is from Dhalgren while my knife is from Holmberg.

Oh! Of course.

There is a book out there on these knives, in Swedish. "Knivar från Eskilstuna" by Arne Marmér, ISBN 9789163081767, published in 1999. Unfortunately I don't have a copy yet, but I think maybe I need to find a copy.

Thanks,
Leif

Hi Leif,

When I would have a collection like you I would think about to buy this book too but I have only this example! When you have the book please let us know if it is worth buying it.
